YZ250F
The New
Benchmark
Riders from club newbies right
up to elite pros are beating our
door down to get on this new
quarter litre class dominator. Why?
Because of its combination of light
weight, incredible horsepower and
impeccable handling. Dominating
race tracks in US and AUS helps
too…
A blend of forged, extruded and cast
aluminium makes up the controlled
flex chassis that allows us to dial
in the exact level of feedback
demanded by our testers. To this we
fit a reverse fed cylinder that allows
fresh air to enter high up from the
front - away from dirt and dust - and
travel straight through the four-valve
combustion chamber. A flow of
pure logic that works so well you’d
think everyone would be onto it.
New settings for 2015 have boosted
mid-range power. The new model is
also easier to start and has a lighter
throttle action.
YAMAHA YZ RANGE
Class leading KYB suspension
and slim ergos with sumblimated
graphics - no more peeling decals complement the lightest bike in the
250F class.
Raw power, light weight and nimble
handling combine to raise the level
to a new quarter litre benchmark.

Learn to Win
The best way to win a senior motocross
race is to start by winning junior
motocross races. And there’s no better
weapon to achieve this than Yamaha’s
85cc liquid-cooled, crankcase
reed-valve-inducted, two-stroke.
Enhanced styling with new plastics
match the new race kits offered in
Australia which include a GYTR shorty
aluminium muffler’ V-Force 3 carbon
reed valve kit, GYTR 53T aluminium
sprocket, aluminium adjustable top
triple clamps and alloy tapered bars all worth $750.
Once again, Yamaha Motor Australia
offers this model with a race kit as
standard, based on input from our
successful GYTR Junior Development
Team. The 125 kit features a GYTR
oversize front brake rotor and caliper
bracket, launch master system, GYTR
shorty muffler, a V Force 3 reed block,
GYTR 50T aluminium sprocket and
Yamalube start up pack all worth $940.
For Australia, we add $850 worth of
race kit including a GYTR oversize
front brake, launch master system,
51T alu sprocket and Yamalube
start up pack.
Smooth-shifting,
six-speed close ratio
transmission with
heavy-duty, multiplate
clutch delivers

For 2015, our engineers have improved
intake efficiency as well as intake/
exhaust port timing to give even more
of that seamless throttle response
across the powerband.
The reed valve induced two-stroke gets
the same 2015 updates as its bigger
brother, the main benefit being plush
KYB speed sensitive suspension that
makes molehills out of mountains.
All new modern, aggressive styling
includes new plastics and air box
as well as minor technical changes
like wider foot pegs and new Dunlop
MX52 tyres.

Always remember to review your Yamaha Motorcycle Owner’s Manual before you ride. Before each ride, take time to check all your equipment. Always wear an approved helmet,
eye protection, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, gloves and boots. And always be sure your bike is in first-class condition before riding. Keep it well-maintained and always outfitted
in accordance with state and local laws. 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 manoeuvring and braking. All riders should ride well within the limits of their abilities, never beyond them. Always ride in
a responsible manner, respecting the environment as well as all state and local laws. Ride responsibly, and remember, motorcycle riders, as all motorists, must practice defensive
driving. Do not drink and ride. It is illegal and dangerous. Yamaha encourages you to ride safely and respect the environment. Specifications and colour options are subject to

Yamaha’s new arsenal of MX
weaponry takes the challenge straight
to the opposition. No more mister
nice guy - the latest two-stroke and
four-strokes are asking others to
step outside into the car park… with
increasingly positive results.

US and Australian media are voting
unanimously in favour of the blue
bikes. And riders are dominating the
race scene - whether it’s MX, enduro,
off road, extreme enduro or desert
racing.
The reason is technical yet simple.
Yamaha builds the best performing
and most reliable dirt bikes available.
The combination of a lightweight
aluminium chassis suspended by KYB
speed sensitive twin chamber forks,
powered by a class leading holeshot
motor that goes the distance is hard
to beat. The YZ advantage is tangible.
Step outside and breathe in a YZ.
That’s the scent of victory.

YZ450F
Follow the
Leader
No more excuses. With the YZ450F
you’re either riding one or you’re
following one.
The latest model is a fresh
development of the original reverse
fed engine concept. It uses the
same compact and lightweight
chassis as our hugely popular race
winning YZ250F.
Super powerful motor meets
compact chassis - that’s the holy
grail of motorcycling covered off
then. No wonder the 450F is so
popular - and versatile. Here’s a
motorcycle that is equally at home
at the pointy end of the Dakar Rally
as it is on extreme enduro trails…
or the 2013 ISDE where Dan Milner
rode one to an incredible second
outright place on debut.
Like its smaller brother, the 450F
recently underwent a severe mass
centralisation program for ultimate
balance and is fitted with all the
equipment to get the job done.
Plus the 2015 model gets even
more controllable mumbo thanks to
revised power delivery settings and
a lighter throttle action. And new
engine mountings offer more rider
feedback and the whole machine
produces bulk traction minimal
wheelspin and added contollability.
All of which makes the YZ450F a
leader among motorcycles. Choose
to either follow one or race one.
A new layout for the fuel tank
and air cleaner box gives the
machine a slimmer feeling between
the legs as well as position’s the fuel
tank mass closer to the centre of the
bike which improves handling feel.
Furthermore, the air box can now be
accessed with quick release fastners
for easy serviceability of the large air
cleaner element.
1
YZ450F’s revolutionary
rearward-slanted-cylinder
design is an innovative approach
to achieve unmatched mass
centralisation. Concentrating the
motorcycle’s heaviest components
(engine mass, fuel tank, exhaust
system, and airbox) toward the centre
of the machine helps achieve superior,
nimble handling.
2
The lightweight aluminium
Bilateral Beam frame offers a
superb rigidity balance and, with
new settings to already class leading
front and rear suspension, provides
unmatched lightweight handling
and cornering. The steering head
pipe is moved 10mm closer to the
rider, making for a more compact
chassis dimension and placing more
weight bias on the front wheel which
translates to an even more precise
and instinctive handling character.
3
The exhaust pipe has an
innovative layout, circling the
cylinder, giving the exhaust pipe
proper length for an excellent
exhaust-pulse effect. At the same
time, the exhaust pipe has three
different diameters throughout the
exhaust tract, bringing out excellent
power characteristics. This new layout
allows the silencer to be positioned
further forward behind the side panel
closer to the middle of the bike which
centralises the mass for superior
handling.
