Just picked up a 09 450r and wanted to know if anyone has seen or heard of a slip on or full exhaust yet? Programer? I have looked but have not seen anything. The bike is sick but sounds weak

Dr.D has been working with yamaha on this. they have what you need/want/desire. its only money. did you even look at the GYTR catalog?

Call up fuel customs. They got like 46hp with just a intake and no tuning yet. The motor is a monster on the yfzr. I would wait until the FCi is released and wait until JSR/ ESR/ Etc releases their pipes. It will be worth the wait. Suspposedly you can use a 18.5" LT shock to replace the stock front shocks If you already have Long Travel on a previous YFZ.

Point is, Call Garret at Fuel Customs. They are working on their intake for the R right now.

DRD is about 2-3 weeks out till they have them ready to ship.

Did you try GYTR? In their catalog they have a lot of aftermarket hop-up parts, including pipe, filter kits, controllers, cams/head, etc.....

I'm going to get the full GYTR system when I get mine in January......

Yea I did see there product. Looks like some great stuff.

Wait 2 months, you'll have a lot more options.

Call Alba Action. Their systems are generally pretty damn potent (loud as eff too) and their most likely gonna get to work and quick.

Don't know about the '09 bikes, but a friend of mine has an '06 with the Dr. D pipe, accelerator pump and the thing moves.
Good luck

Jealous I am... maybe Ill see you at one of the WORCS events?

pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check this link out....Big Nic G vid pimping the new 450r around on the track!!!

There's always the $2295 GYTR ported head.

I get enough head to pay $2295 for more

Really I will wait for Nic G to get his and play with it and then send my engine to him to port her up.

Whats the diff from the 06 to the 09?

Geoff Mummert (MMAD) in San Diego is ready now if you do not want to wait. He's probably one of the top 3 YFZ builders in the country..

get the head ported
get the carb ported to 43mm
run the fci intake when its realeased.
and get an exaust system. i think HMF will realease it soon. drd,sparks, rossier,rage, and dasa are good too.

No carb on the 09. They are FI now.

Does the timing already come YZ spec on the new r's?

port the throttle body. lol

no cam mod. Its already setup everything is different.
I actually read the whole article on what Nic G. wrote. Pretty effin amazing what he said about it. He said James steward bolted on the GYTR head to the YZ450 dirtbike (didnt know James switched to Yamaha :blink)

yep....Stewart is riding blue this year - crazy huh??? Gonna miss CR's aussie accent - lol!

GWTT - I plan on being at Round 1 of the WORCS race....giving my YFZR it's first run, hopefully! I don't have it yet, but should by then....

While the aftermarket goodies are limited for the YFZR right now, I think in the next few weeks we will see some new pipes out and then in the next month or so, a lot of companies will be coming out with their stuff. It was the same when I bought my YFZ in 2003 - no one had anything for it for a little while.......

night and day dude. check out yamaha's web site.

im jealous as hell of you guys that have one. its gonna be a monster when the mods are all figured out...

Hurd the best upgrade for it was for me to ride it

That's funny...I heard it'll just crash if you do that

darn already caught it was worth a shot

Well just got back from GD for our New Years trip....man that 450r was killer !!! Loved it. I did the ride from Gecko to Duner's Dinner and had a blast with it pinned. The bike handles great for out of the box and even had enough power to keep me happy for the weekend. Here is a pick of my wife getting ready to ride it and me filling up my daughters quad. My wife stuck my on the Raptor for this ride Click to view attachment

< SOOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!

congrats!!!

Thanks... Yea it's a really nice bike. Trust me I have been a Honda "R" man for what I thought was life but things changed to 4 strokers and really I have not felt any worm fuzzy's till this bike. Yea the Raptor was cool but I really feel at home on that Yfz450r.

Here is something that was cool, the new seat and thinner tank section is great. It makes it easy to move your body position around and still feel good. Also when the bike daces around under you it doesn't feel like you have a "Tank" under you. Kinda feels like when I have my crf450 dancing around under me on a trail. BUT,,,I will say Yamaha sucks balls for installing a "True RED" seat on candy red frame combo. It really looks out of place. I think we are going to get the seat redone in some after market cover set up.

Also all I did to the bike was pull the exhaust core out for the weekend just so it sounded alittle better

BUMP .... Anyone seen anything yet?

Yes, will be seeing alot at the WORCS round 1 Dustin Nelson runing the new 450R as well as a few other riders.

Call Alba....

i bet the power commader 3 will be the best efi unit like it is on the other efi quads

i would call garret at fci well before i called these ppl. but that is just me

They've always been good to me.

Wouldn't buy a bike from them though, sales department sucks. Rest is great stuff.

btw nice quads. the monster duals look bad on the rappy!

Ive never had any luck with Alba - know a few who swear they will never deal with them again either. I guess its just hit and miss which is probably true for most dealerships and their service depeartments..

I didn't really have a good experience with Alba also.


Guess we will have to wait to see what people are sporting @ the WROC's race. When is the first race?

this weekend. Speedworld, Az. round 2 is closer at Racetown 395 (Adelanto/victorville) I dont like anything ALBA makes.

You could ask 450grl I hear she has one and I believe she was having all the bolt on goodies installed from the factory. Heard she was schooling the peeps at the MX track last weekend.

garret at fci will school alba on how to make power.

He doesn't like it because it passed him up the hill

And don't give me that gearing, mis-shifts, and cosmos bullpoop

so you won a race. but ALBA's stuff you were given literally. just cause you got friends places doesnt mean there stuff it great. they have little packing in their pipes, are loud and brittle. yours may be holding up quite well for sitting for a whole season but poor quality imo.

I hope to meet 450grl at the track this weekend and see her new R. If you really wanted parts, its only $$$$. you could have them already. I'll try and shoot some pics of nelson's and other 450's out there

Been getting plenty use. Parts have held up great. I don't need a master welder for an exhaust pipe, frame maybe but an exhaust that's greatest battle is vibration, no.

Loud is an understatement though.

And don't knock free, free is great price. I had to haul the damn thing cory, that's a lot of gas money

Alba - Lower/Middle of the line parts made by some other Mfg.....they just put their label on it.


For a 450R....Id be looking to the Performance Shops who actually make and test their own items.

Alba stuff is good for the average joe to put some stuff on their Quad. Not Race level.









Mi Dos Centavos

Cory Ellis liked it while he was there.

Suspension systems are pretty boring though.

You mean he liked there $ while they were giving him it.

Still liked it

I laughed out loud reading this. Too funny Marcus. Sorry Steven. Haha!

Everybody likes FREE!!!!! Never kick a gift horse in the mouth...yano??? hehe
