2018 Yamaha YFZ450R SE Sports ATV – Price and Features
Engine
The new 2018 Yamaha YFZ450R SE Sports ATV features the powerful fuel-injected 449cc engine. This engine provides the smooth power delivery with lots of midrange to top-end power. The engine comes with the five-valve cylinder head and titanium valve technology, which is designed to deliver the massive amount of power in the mid-range to top end. Its high compression ratio further enhances an overall engine performance. This sports ATV comes with the latest Yamaha Fuel Injection for precise fuel delivery. Thanks to the Mikuni throttle bodies and 12-hole injector, this new system provides an exceptional atomization for its fuel to achieve the maximum power. This system also includes an ISC (Idle Speed Control) for an easy reliable start-up and warning. An assist-and-slipper clutch reduces the clutch lever effort for less fatigue while at the same time increases the clutch plate pressure for positive engagement. This new clutch system reduces the engine braking effect allowing the rider to have faster cornering. The new crankcase holds the crankshaft to handle an increased demand for races as well as counterbalance to reduce vibrations. The crankcase contains an oil tank that helps to centralize mass for unmatched handling while making maintenance easier like in 2018 Yamaha YFZ450R Sports ATV. Its camshafts have been entirely revised to improve the engine power output.
Chassis/Suspension
The new 2018 Yamaha YFZ450R SE Sports ATV features the new body configuration that allows the rider to have more room during the moto. It has a narrow seat in the front and wide and padded in the rear to minimize the rider fatigue during the ride. The inner lip of wheels has been rolled in to increase its rigidity. It reduces the weight and maximizes the strength. The wheels are kept motocross-spec of about 50 inches wide for greater cornering speed. The new Maxxis tires give an excellent handling and controlling on all surfaces. The front tire is about 21 inches while the rear has 20 inches offering the better ground clearance than a competition. The tapered handlebar has the large diameter, which reduces the vibration and is attached to 4-way clamps for better adjustability. The new two sets of holes in the handlebar crown and an eccentric clamp enable the rider to select the standard setting i.e. 10mm or 20mm forward or 10mm back. The footpegs are wide about 2.6 inches allowing the maximum rider comfort. The frame is made of an aluminum and steel to achieve the lightweight. The engine is being sat on the steel to achieve an excellent mass centralization for unmatched handling. The frame is bolted together instead of welded to achieve better durability. The front frame is kept narrow at the A-arm attaching points. It increases the A-arm length and reduces the changes in camber as the suspension travels through its full range of motion. The front KYB shocks are longer for more stroke with the superb bump absorption and excellent anti-bottoming characteristics. They feature the Kashima coating for smooth operation. They have wheel travel of 9.8 inches to cope with the most challenging tracks like in 2017 Yamaha YFZ450R SE Sports ATV. The rear swingarm is being crafted of strong gravity-fed aluminum and it is matched with the fully adjustable 46mm KYB piggyback shock for outstanding handling. The rear wheel travel is about 11 inches for added comfort even on the tough terrain.
