There are few joys in life equal to the free-spirited thrill and experience of motorcycling. And that’s why it’s important for all of us to do our part as responsible riders. By following logical, commonsense rules, we can maintain season after season of unparalleled enjoyment of our sport. Always remember to review your Yamaha Owner’s Manual and Tips Booklet before you ride. Before each ride, take time to check all your equipment. Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves and boots. And always be sure your bike is in first-class condition before riding. Never ride an off-road motorcycle on paved surfaces or public roads; never carry passengers; never engage in stunt riding and avoid excessive speed. Provide parental supervision when a motorcycle is being operated by a minor. Every motorcycle rider should be aware of the limits of his or her skills, experience and abilities and ride accordingly. Beginners should be extremely cautious and allow extra time and distance for maneuvering and braking. All riders should ride well within the limits of their abilities, never beyond them. Do not drink and ride. It is illegal and dangerous. Yamaha and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation encourage you to ride safely and respect the environment.

2013YZ450F

Length tuned for low-rev grunt and top-end horsepower, with a torque-boosting resonator that keeps the noise down to 94 dB.

The rearward-slanted engine allows for straight intake and exhaust ports, creating the most direct path for airflow into the fuel-injected engine for incredible performance.

TORNADO PIPEREvOluTIONARy ENgINE

OTHER BIKES, PLEASE MOVE TO THE REAR.The revolutionary YZ®450F is the first and only production bike ever built around a straight-intake, rear-slanted engine and aluminum bilateral beam frame for the most compacted center of mass ever in a four stroke. Plus, the 4-titanium valve cylinder head is matched to a newly optimized fuel injection system that provides superb low- to mid-rpm power feeling. The result: instant throttle response, unprecedented balance and incredible cornering performance, coupled with the best stock suspension in the industry and legendary Yamaha durability. Note to the MX world: If you’re not ready for the future, prepare to be passed.

Further aids handling by allowing the fuel load to be carried lower and more rearward.

bIlATERAl bEAm fRAmE

bIlATERAl bEAm AlumINum fRAmE: Torsional rigidity converts lateral impacts into longitudinal forces, which are easily absorbed by the suspension—so you’re quick into the corners and even quicker coming out.

REARWARD-SlANTED ENgINE: Concentrates the engine’s mass much closer to the YZ’s center of gravity, enabling lightweight handling, quicker direction changes and a straight intake tract for superb combustion efficiency that delivers more power.

4-vAlvE CylINDER HEAD: The 4-titanium valve cylinder head is matched to a newly recalibrated fuel injection system that provides superb low- to mid-rpm power feeling. Instantly adapts to changing air/fuel mixtures depending on altitude and temperature, for an engine that delivers no matter what conditions.

bATTERylESS fuEl-INJECTION SySTEm: The YZ450F was engineered around its fuel injection system: Moving the intake to the front of the bike makes the straight intake not just possible but amazingly effective.

gyTR® POWER TuNER: Allows you to quickly adjust the fuel and ignition maps to suit riding conditions and rider preference. Allows 9 easy-to-program adjustment points for both the fuel and ignition maps.

2013YZ250F

Optimized breathing, D-shape exhaust port and intake camshaft improve low- and midrange power.

ENgINE

Designed to be the best cornering performance motocross bike ever, the 2013 YZ®250F features a long list of top-tier features. We started with a refined, optimized engine that pumps out power in the 8,000 to 12,000 rpm range; gave it a Bilateral Beam frame with revised rigidity balance for superb cornering performance and stability on rough, high-speed straights; added a KYB® suspension for superior handling; then threw in a host of other goodies like beefy outer fork tubes and triple clamps for the most powerful, best cornering, lightest weight in its class, most durable and intuitive YZ250F ever.

The tank, seat and rear fender are flat, and the relationship between handlebars, pegs and seat result in a natural forward-riding position that facilitates rider movement.

High lateral and torsional rigidity provides added cornering stability and more cornering speed.

gREAT mID- TO TOP-END POWER: Engine refinements, including a large 39mm carburetor, optimized CDI and light piston with a light piston pin, mean the YZ250F has more power as well as exceptional throttle response in the mid- to high-speed range.

STRENgTH IN NumbERS: Strong transmission gears and shift fork make for smooth shifting and durability. Stiff clutch springs cope with that 250 four-stroke power, while the lever ratio keeps clutch-pull effort low.

HyDRO-fORmED SWINgARm: A super-light, super-rigid, hydro-formed swingarm and a strong, 25mm axle are carefully tuned to complement the YZ250F’s advanced chassis.

lEADINg-EDgE STylE: Form follows function with fenders, number plate, fork protector, side covers and air scoop. The seat serves up even more feel and feedback. Rich-looking black rims and gold-color drive chain complete the package.

THE MOST POWERFUL, BEST HANDLING YZ250F EVER.

2013YZ250 / YZ125 / YZ85GO ON A PREMIX POWER TRIP.

Rumors of the two-stroke’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, some race organizations allow 250cc two-strokes to compete against four-strokes in amateur competition, so there is no doubt we’ll all get to hear that sweet sound at the track. Good thing the 2013 YZ®250, YZ®125 and YZ®85 are more prepared than ever with their superior chassis designs, explosively powerful engines and awesome lightweight handling. We’re there for you, ahead of the pack, two stroke or four.

SERIOuS POWER: YZ250 and YZ125’s patented YPVS™ power-valve systems broaden and smooth power delivery: You get immediate off-idle response, smooth midrange and strong top-end power with plenty of over-rev.

ADvANCED SuSPENSION: State-of-the-art KYB Speed-Sensitive System forks on YZ250 and YZ125 are as good as production front suspension gets and provide stellar suspension action.

TOPlINE COmPONENTS THROugHOuT: YZ250 and YZ125 roll with aluminum frames, tapered oversized handlebars, wave-type brake discs—they’re ready to run up front straight from the crate.

mINI Of CHOICE: The YZ85 is world renowned as the most serious mini-missile out there: an aggressive, quick-turning 157-pound machine packing a hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners powerplant. The liquid-cooled, 85cc crankcase, reed-valve inducted 6-speed is light, compact and designed to deliver hard-hitting, moto-winning power throughout the rpm range.

There are lots of cool things about the WR®450F. But perhaps the coolest is that it uses a light, compact, YZ250F-based chassis but gets all the serious power of a highly potent, fuel-injected 450 engine. And that’s just the beginning. Designed to perform on the tight trails and in the highest altitudes, the fuel injection system delivers smooth power and lightning-fast throttle response. Inspired by Yamaha MX race technology, right down to its agile chassis and cushy YZ250F-based suspension, it doesn’t just pound the trails—it pummels the competition.
