New for 2006 model YFZ450
* 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.
