The recommended oil type for the Yamaha WR450F 2021 is Yamalube 4-R 10W-50 or an equivalent high-performance synthetic oil.
It is recommended to change the oil every 600 miles or 10 hours of riding, whichever comes first.
The recommended tire pressure is 15 psi for the front tire and 15 psi for the rear tire under normal riding conditions.
To adjust the suspension, use the compression and rebound clickers located on the front forks and rear shock. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific settings based on your riding style and weight.
The recommended spark plug type is NGK CR8E or a similar high-quality spark plug.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the air filter. Clean it with a mild detergent and water, let it dry, then apply air filter oil before reinstalling.
The break-in period is the first 600 miles or 10 hours of operation. During this time, avoid high RPMs, full-throttle starts, and aggressive riding.
Loosen the axle nut and adjust the chain adjusters evenly on both sides until the chain has about 1.6 inches of slack at the midpoint. Tighten the axle nut to secure.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors suitable for aluminum engines. Yamaha recommends Yamaha Coolant or equivalent.
Check the battery charge, inspect the spark plug, ensure the fuel is fresh, and verify that the kill switch is in the correct position. If issues persist, consult a professional technician.
