Yamaha YZ450FXG 2016 Specification

The 2016 Yamaha YZ450FXG is a high-performance off-road motorcycle engineered for competitive cross-country and enduro racing. It shares its foundational DNA with Yamaha's acclaimed YZ450F motocross bike but has been fine-tuned for the demands of off-road riding. The heart of the YZ450FXG is a 449cc liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke engine that delivers robust power and torque across a wide RPM range. This engine features a forward-positioned straight intake, which enhances airflow and contributes to the bike's responsive throttle.

The powerplant is paired with a 5-speed wide-ratio transmission, providing versatility to tackle varied terrains and conditions. For optimal handling, the bike is equipped with a lightweight bilateral beam aluminum frame that offers a balance of rigidity and flex, enhancing rider feedback and control. Suspension duties are managed by fully adjustable KYB components: an inverted fork with speed-sensitive damping up front and a link-type Monocross shock at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain.

The YZ450FXG boasts an electric starter system for quick and easy ignition, particularly beneficial in race situations. The fuel injection system is finely tuned for precise fuel delivery, ensuring consistent performance and fuel efficiency. Additional off-road specific features include an 18-inch rear wheel for better traction and durability, a larger fuel tank to extend range, and a skid plate for engine protection.

The ergonomics are designed for rider comfort and control, with a narrow chassis and adjustable handlebar positions. The bike also comes with a side stand for convenience during off-road excursions. Overall, the 2016 Yamaha YZ450FXG is a meticulously crafted machine that combines power, agility, and durability, making it a formidable competitor in the off-road racing world.
