Great bike
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 29, 2013My cousine had just bought a 2010 yz450f with fuel injection, and he let me ride it. It was then that I realized I needed one. I started looking around and was pumped on buying a 2013, but it faded and I got to thinking a bike that new wasn't in the budget. I found an 09; yes it isn't a fuel injected, ... but the power is wonderful. A little choppy at low speeds, but mid to high it eats everything you throw at it. this bike will make you want to improve your riding skills, and will help you along the way. Wonderful bike, handles like a dream and awesome power!

Nice Ride
By (I am an Owner) on Jun 29, 2012Bought this bike for trail riding so I had to make a few adjustments. In stock form the bike stalls a lot at slow speeds when trying to ride technical single track trails. First mod was a 52 tooth rear sprocket for bush riding. Stock chain kept stretching every ride so I replaced it with a x-link ... chain, no problem since. Put a vance and hines slip on exhaust for added grunt and more aggressive sound. The bike has smooth power delivery which inspires confidence. The only complaints are the bike can be hard to start so a pushbutton would be nice. Also feels a little heavy at times.

YZ450F
By (I am an Owner) on Jun 22, 2009The 2009 yz450f is a great bike there is only one dissadisfaction about this bike. It doesn't have fuel injection. Unlike the other bikes though it has 5 valves so it will compete with the rest of 450s. I LOVE IT.
