Yamaha gave its YZ450F a major update for 2010 with its reversed engine layout so it should be no surprised the motocrosser received just a few updates for 2012.

Besides the usual graphical updates, the 2012 Yamaha YZ450F receives a new exhaust system to meet 94dB competition requirements. Fuel injection settings have also been tweaked for smoother response at low to mid revs.

Suspension settings have also been tweaked while the seat uses a new foam material.

The 2012 Yamaha YZ450F will be offered in Yamaha Blue and White or White and Red
