    Key Features
    • With more than 80 changes for 2006, the YFZ450 continues to dominate the track and trail, and comes in a Yamaha 50th Anniversary Special Edition Yellow/Black color scheme.
    • Most powerful, industry-exclusive, five-titanium-valve engine and 350-pound dry weight give the YFZ450 the best power-to-weight ratio of any ATV ever produced.
    • California green sticker compliant.
    • Ultra-compact, lightweight, high-tensile steel frame with fully adjustable suspension.
    • YFZ450 is also the best handling race-bred ATV ever produced.
    • The YFZ450 comes standard with pushbutton electric starting, a convenient flip-type parking brake and suspension calibrated for performance.
    • A longer steering stem, new handlebars, a thicker seat and longer-travel rear suspension make riding hard not all that hard at all.
    New for 2006
    • Even more performance: a larger, more powerful, 449cc engine, revised carburetion, head design and ignition timing produce even more of an excellent thing—and an increased-capacity radiator keeps it cool.
    • New, titanium heat shield is super light and strong.
    • New larger-capacity radiator is optimally mounted in the frame to guard against damage.
    • More comfort: a longer steering stem, new handlebars and a thicker seat make the YFZ450 nice to ride for a long time.
    • Longer travel out back means an excellent ride and handling.
    • Aluminum grab bars are light and strong.
    • New, eccentric chain adjuster mechanism simplifies that job, and a new, twin-piston rear brake caliper provides strong, controllable rear braking.
    • New tires provide excellent traction, handling and ride quality.
    • New LED taillight is bright, tough and draws less current.
    Engine
    • Liquid-cooled, 449cc, five-valve, DOHC, four-stroke with titanium valves features 95mm bore and 63.4mm stroke for massive power with high over-rev capacity and crisp, linear throttle response.
    • Reliable, pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
    • High performance 39mm Keihin FCR flat-slide carburetor with throttle position sensor (TPS) delivers ultra-precise fuel/air mixing and crisp throttle response.
    • Additional weight-saving engine features include: magnesium cylinder head cover and right side crankcase cover; small-design cam chain tensioner and oil pump; aluminum oil hose; and light CDI ignition unit.
    • Trick, works-style clutch lever features oversize barrel adjuster for easy, no tool adjustability of lever/cable play.
    • Dry sump engine carries oil in an aluminum tank directly in front of the engine for excellent cooling and optimal protection from rocks or mud.
    • DC ignition system delivers ultra-precise spark and 3D timing for faster, stronger engine response during hard acceleration.
    • High-performance stainless steel exhaust header is mated to a USFS-approved spark arrestor.
    • Smooth-shifting YZ-spec ratchet-type five-speed transmission and heavy-duty clutch deliver all that power to the rear tires with maximum efficiency.
    • Large capacity airbox features no-tool access to the oiled dual foam filter for easy maintenance.
    • Ignition coil is integrated into the spark plug cap; extremely light and compact.
    Chassis/Suspension
    • Independent aluminum upper A-arm front suspension features fully adjustable competition-spec Kayaba piggyback shocks with 9.1 inches of travel and separate adjusters for preload, rebound and compression damping.
    • New rear suspension system is YZ linkage-type, controlled by a fully adjustable Showa shock with 10.6 inches of travel and separate adjusters for preload, rebound and compression damping.
    • Ultra-rigid cast aluminum swingarm reduces weight and ensures optimal suspension action.
    • Numerous aluminum components—including the swingarm, upper A-arms, oil tank and wheels—help keep overall dry weight down to a paltry 350 pounds.
    • Controlled Fill cast aluminum subframe is light and super-strong.
    • Lightweight front and rear master cylinders, combined with twin 160mm front discs with twin-piston calipers and single 200mm rear disc, deliver incredible stopping power with progressive control and feel.
    • New high-performance 21 x 7R-10 front and 20 x 10R-9 rear Dunlop radials, designed specifically for the YFZ450, deliver superb, class-leading traction.
    • Long, low and narrow YZ-style seat enhances the quick, balanced steering and optimal rider movement.
    Additional Features
    • Rugged 45mm-wide serrated footrests provide excellent grip and rider comfort.
    • Large-capacity, 2.6 gallon fuel tank ensures excellent range.
    • Dual 30-watt multireflector halogen headlights set back in the front cowl add the perfect menacing appearance. Taillight has an incorporated brake light for added convenience.
    • Easy-to-use, toggle link-type handlebar-mounted parking brake can be set with one hand.
