Yamaha was the 1st to use a Single rear shock "Mono shock" early 80s or late 70s😊🤓🤙

That fuel tank design is seriously slick

Love this bike ! Just got one.

I just got one a couple of weeks ago and rode it for the first time last weekend, amazing bike with its power and low-end torque. Not to sound like a snob but I rode a 250F and didn't think they had enough power to keep me entertained, I was riding a 2001 KX-250 two stroke and it felt like it would run circles around that Yamaha 250f that I test rode. Super skinny which was a welcome improvement over my seemingly bloated feeling KX-250, the fat rear tire provides tons of grip even on slick terrain, and even though it is a monster in terms of power its nice smooth and predictable which is also a welcome improvement over my two stroke which has a powerband that comes on like a light switch and is quite violent. Still need to take it back out and mess around with the clickers but so far I am infatuated with this bike.

Does it have an ECM switch for 2 maps ? Traction control ? According to the video, it does have both ! I have a 2016 YZ450FX. Love it.

@@SomeTechGuy666 Yes it does have a map switch. It does have traction control but it is only activated and adjusted through the Yamaha Powertuner app on your phone.

My only question is how it handles the tight stuff, as far as flame outs and stalling. These guys are out west so it's a totally different environment than the northern woods i ride. It's extremely rocky in some of the areas, and my '21 KX450x is awful in that stuff, even with a 52T rear. I have to focus more on keeping the bike running than anything else, living on the clutch, then of course it starts getting hot.

We tested this bike in South Carolina and rode some extremely tight stuff with it. We didn't have an issue with flame out or stalling

I’m with you there, 250f’s just aren’t in the decision for me way under powered for any kind of bottom end needs. It’s between this bike and a Husky 350 FX. I own a 23’ Beta 390 and it is a bit heavy and very unbalanced, and some other quirks. I’m not usually considering a 450 because it’s just more bike than practical, but this 24’ seems to have mitigated more of that that ever before.. Your take?

That dirt is what dreams are made of!

We should do a 2024 450cc off-road shootout

awesome video Josh !!! Great commentating as well well as great riding !!! Love to see the mix of mx sx and harescrambles attention from MXA !!! Thank you for all you , MXA and dirtbike mag do for all of us - BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP p.s. is there a test on the new Beta RX450 and Triumph 250 in the near future ?? I am a KTM guy ( I have a 23 SX 250 pre-mix'r and a 21 Fact edition 450 now ) but my new 24 Beta 300 RX is scheduled to be here next week !!!!!!!!!!

Ima KtM 450 XCF fanboy…. But this bike got me questioning my decisions 😅😂

Same here… Thinking about picking one of these up here in the next few weeks lol

wonderful! This season I will be riding the 2024 YZ450FX.

Looks like this would be a great Vet bike.

Josh you do a great commentary Cheers

Good review

This bike looks so fun… woods/trail/desert day with friends💯 ps- That intro tho!🔥🤘

Yamaha yz's is the fastest dirt bike i have ever owned......bar none! I would paint it the yellow they used in the past. Yellow and black, bring it back! I should be their designer....hahahaha Great Bikes!!

Exactly what needs to happen! If the manufacturers actually knew what was coming they’d be racing to get one out. A 385 would be perfect.

Woods riders are nuts, in a good way!

Curious but is the fuel tank translucent ? With the tank's location, can you see the fuel level thru the fill cap?

Is the bike equiped with the WR Flywheel or the YZ one?

Love to see more testing review points focused on ultra low speed tech riding. Does it chug without flame outs? 1st gear sounds extremely low. Can you shuffle it in a 360 on the rear wheel without flameout?

Dream bike 😢😢

❤

Map it all the way up and control power with the wrist that's how our parents and grandparents did it and how I prefer it

I've seen and ride yz450fxs frome previous years and I even have a 2021 250fx, and they all have 6 speed wide ratio transmission, is the newest bike 5 gears only, or is he wrong? Does anybody know?

450FX has been a 5 speed for awhile.

The YZ450FX and WR450F have always been wide-ratio / 5-speed, oppositely the YZ250FX and WR250F have a wide-ratio / 6-speed.

Question: Is the 250 version of this bike the same?

@SAS_3419

No, the 2024 YZ-250FX still retains the last generation chassis, I believe the 2025 model will get the new chassis and slightly redesigned engine.

Any tall riders own one of these? I’m 6’2 and heard the cockpit feels small. Coming off a 20 450xcf.

Good on Yamaha. In the so ca. dev I’m still giving the nod to the KTM XC 450 or 300 2smoke. 6th gear even spread trans ratios. The Yamaha’s 1st gear is useless. Change the gearing and now 5th is unusable.

Should be titled upgrades and comparison this was the most absolute shit 2024 yz450fx video “tested”

I can tell you who it's not made for.. California! Almost useless other than private property. Legally, anyway. Idk how the manufacturer are battling this. But it can't help new bike sales in a state that has such a large offroad market.
