By Bike Review • 5 years ago •

Yamaha Motor Australa is pleased to announce the release of the 2020 YZ450FX enduro machine, available in Team Yamaha Blue and White colour scheme, with a ready to ride price of $14,199 RRP incl GST. Price and specifications are unchanged from the heavily updated 2019 YZ450FX model.

The 2020 YZ450FX holds the same price and specifications as the heavily updated 2019 YZ450FX.

All 2020 units feature updated graphics and are supplied with a recreational rego kit fitted, making it eligible for rec rego in applicable states.

Key features include programmable fuelling and ignition engine mapping via the Yamaha Power Tuner smartphone app, as well as a handlebar mounted switch that allows the rider to alternate between two pre-loaded maps on the fly.

Large diameter (270mm) front brake disc, and a bilateral beam frame with FX-specific engine mounts are matched to a 21-inch/18-inch wheel combination and enduro suspension settings. The result is an ideal balance between cornering feel and straight-line confidence.

A 8.2 litre, mass centralised fuel tank allows the rider to go harder for longer, while the narrow body design provides solid knee grip points and more room to move.

Mass centralisation is one of the key features on the 2020 YZ450FX, with a new fuel tank and engine configuration being contributing factors.

The revolutionary engine features a rearward-slanted-cylinder design for an innovative approach to mass centralisation. Concentrating the motorcycle’s heaviest components towards the centre-point achieves superior, nimble handling.
