How much power does it make?

May 31, 2019

The 2019 Yamaha YZ450FX has a starting suggested retail price of $9,499 and is available in Team Yamaha Blue. Powering this Japanese motorcycle is a liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve, 449cc four-stroke engine.

We ran the YZ450FX on our rear-wheel dyno in third gear to determine peak output from it. We documented 53.24 hp at 9,430 rpm and 32.57 pound-feet of torque at 7,330 rpm.
