DIAGRAMME DE FONCTIONNEMENT

N.B.:

Always use the recommended fuel as stated below. Also, be sure to use new gasoline the day of a race.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - N.B.: - 1

Recommended fuel: Premium unleaded gasoline only with a research octane number of 95 or higher.

CAUTION:

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to the engine internal parts such as valves, piston rings, and exhaust system, etc.

NOTE:

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.

WARNING

  • For refueling, be sure to stop the engine and use enough care not to spill any fuel. Also be sure to avoid refueling close to a fire.
  • Refuel after the engine, exhaust pipe, etc. have cooled off.

CARBURANT

Never start or run the engine in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous; they can cause loss of consciousness and death in a very short time. Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated area.

CAUTION:

  • The carburetor on this machine has a built-in accelerator pump. Therefore, when starting the engine, do not operate the throttle or the spark plug will foul.
  • Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine cannot be kick started when the throttle is open because the kickstarter may kick back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/fuel mixture may be too lean for the engine to start.
  • Before starting the machine, perform the checks in the pre-operation check list.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

According to “AIR FILTER CLEANING” section in the CHAPTER 3, apply the foam-air-filter oil or its equivalent to the element. (Excess oil in the element may adversely affect engine starting.)

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

NOTE:

This model is equipped with an ignition circuit cut-off system. The engine can be started under the following conditions.

  • When the transmission is in neutral.
  • When the clutch is disengaged with the transmission in any position. However, it is recommended to shift into neutral before starting the engine.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - NOTE: - 1

text_image Technical diagram showing car engine components with numbered parts and directional arrow indicating rotation or movement
  1. Inspect the coolant level.
  2. Turn the fuel cock to "ON".
  3. Push the main switch to "ON".
  4. Shift the transmission into neutral.
  5. Fully open the cold starter knob ①.
  6. Start the engine by pushing the start switch or by kicking the kickstarter.

If the engine fails to start by pushing the start switch, release the switch, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Each starting attempt should be as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on any one attempt. If the engine does not start with the starter motor, try using the kickstarter.

WARNING

  • If the starter motor will not turn when pushing the start switch, stop pushing it immediately and kick start the engine in order to avoid the load on the motor.
  • Do not open the throttle while kicking the kickstarter. Otherwise, the kickstarter may kick back.

  • Return the cold starter knob to its original position and run the engine at 3,000 \~ 5,000 r/min for 1 or 2 minutes.

NOTE:

Since this model is equipped with an accelerator pump, if the engine is raced (the throttle opened and closed), the air/fuel mixture will be too rich and the engine may stall. Also unlike a two-stroke engine, this model can idle.

CAUTION:

Do not warm up the engine for extended periods of time.

N.B.:

text_image Technical diagram of a mechanical device with labeled component ①

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

Do not operate the cold starter knob and throttle. Pull the hot starter lever ① and start the engine by pushing the start switch or by kicking the kickstarter forcefully with a firm stroke.

As soon as the engine starts, release the hot starter lever to close the air passage.

Restarting an engine after a fall

Pull the hot starter lever and start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release the hot starter lever to close the air passage.

  4. Operate the machine in the lower gears at moderate throttle openings for five to eight minutes.
  5. Check how the engine runs when the machine is ridden with the throttle 1/4 to 1/2 open (low to medium speed) for about one hour.
  6. Restart the engine and check the operation of the machine throughout its entire operating range. Restart the machine and operate it for about 10 to 15 more minutes. The machine will now be ready to race.

CAUTION:

  • After the break-in or before each race, you must check the entire machine for loose fittings and fasteners as per "TORQUE-CHECK POINTS".
    Tighten all such fasteners as required.
  • When any of the following parts have been replaced, they must be broken in. CYLINDER AND CRANKSHAFT:
    About one hour of break-in operation is necessary.
    PISTON, RING, VALVES, CAMSHAFTS AND GEARS:
    These parts require about 30 minutes of break-in operation at half-throttle or less. Observe the condition of the engine carefully during operation.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

EC1B1000

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning of your machine will enhance its appearance, maintain good overall performance, and extend the life of many components.

  1. Before washing the machine, block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water from entering. A plastic bag secured with a rubber band may be used for this purpose.
  2. If the engine is excessively greasy, apply some degreaser to it with a paint brush. Do not apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets, or wheel axles.
  3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose; use only enough pressure to do the job.

CAUTION:

Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and contamination of wheel bearings, front forks, brakes and transmission seals. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.

  1. After the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent. Use an old toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places.
  2. Rinse the machine off immediately with clean water, and dry all surfaces with a soft towel or cloth.
  3. Immediately after washing, remove excess water from the chain with a paper towel and lubricate the chain to prevent rust.
  4. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.

NETTOYAGE ET REMISAGE

NETTOYAGE

If your machine is to be stored for 60 days or more, some preventive measures must be taken to avoid deterioration. After cleaning the machine thoroughly, prepare it for storage as follows:

  1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and the carburetor float bowl.
  2. Remove the spark plug, pour a tablespoon of SAE 10W-30 motor oil in the spark plug hole, and reinstall the plug. With the engine stop switch pushed in, kick the engine over several times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
  3. Remove the drive chain, clean it thoroughly with solvent, and lubricate it. Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic bag tied to the frame.
  4. Lubricate all control cables.
  5. Block the frame up to raise the wheels off the ground.
  6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
  7. If the machine is to be stored in a humid or salt-air environment, coat all exposed metal surfaces with a film of light oil. Do not apply oil to rubber parts or the seat cover.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before the machine is stored.

GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

This chart specifies torque for standard fasteners with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque specifications for special components or assemblies are included in the applicable sections of this book. To avoid warpage, tighten multi-fastener assemblies in a crisscross fashion, in progressive stages, until full torque is reached. Unless otherwise specified, torque specifications call for clean, dry threads. Components should be at room temperature.

CONTROLE DE L'AVANCE A L'ALLUMAGE

1. Déposer:

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and contain electrolyte which is made of poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures:

  • Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
  • Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
  • Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or open flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted cigarettes).
  • DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling batteries.
  • KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
  • Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns or permanent eye injury.

FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT: EXTERNAL

  • Skin — Wash with water.
  • Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
  • Drink large quantities of water or milk followed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical attention.

INTERNAL

CAUTION:

Charging time, charging amperage and charging voltage for an MF battery are different from those of conventional batteries. The MF battery should be charged as explained in the charging method illustrations. If the battery is overcharged, the electrolyte level will drop considerably. Therefore, take special care when charging the battery.

CONTROLE ET CHARGE DE LA BATTERIE

! AVERTISSEMENT

Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible to check the charge state of the battery by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be checked by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.

1. Remove:

- Seat

- Battery leads (from the battery terminals)

CAUTION:

First, disconnect the negative battery lead ①, and then the positive battery lead ②.

3. Remove:

- Battery band - Battery

4. Measure:

- Battery charge

Measurement steps:

- Connect a pocket tester ① to the battery terminals.

Tester positive probe →

battery positive terminal

Tester negative probe →

battery negative terminal

NOTE:

- The charge state of an MF battery can be checked by measuring its open-circuit voltage (i.e., the voltage when the positive terminal is disconnected). - No charging is necessary when the open-circuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.

CONTROLE ET CHARGE DE LA BATTERIE BATTERIE KONTROLLIEREN UND LADEN COMPROBACIÓN Y CARGA DE LA BATERÍA

N.B.:

- Check the charge of the battery, as shown in the charts and the following example.

Example

Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V

Charging time = 6.5 hours

Charge of the battery = 20 \~ 30%

A Relationship between the open-circuit voltage and the charging time at 20 °C (68 °F) (These values vary with the temperature, the condition of the battery plates, and the electrolyte level.)

B Open-circuit voltage

⑥ Check the open-circuit voltage.

  1. Charge:

- Battery

(refer to the appropriate charging method illustration)

WARNING

Do not quick charge a battery.

CAUTION:

  • Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.
  • Do not use a high-rate battery charger since it forces a high-amperage current into the battery quickly and can cause battery overheating and battery plate damage.
  • If it is impossible to regulate the charging current on the battery charger, be careful not to overcharge the battery.
  • When charging a battery, be sure to remove it from the machine. (If charging has to be done with the battery mounted on the machine, disconnect the negative battery lead from the battery terminal.)
  • To reduce the chance of sparks, do not plug in the battery charger until the battery charger leads are connected to the battery.

Measurement and adjustment steps:

- Hold the carburetor in an upside down position.

NOTE:

  • Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite direction, then take the measurement when the needle valve aligns with the float arm.
  • If the carburetor is level, the weight of the float will push in the needle valve, resulting in an incorrect measurement.
  • Measure the distance between the mating surface of the float chamber and top of the float using a vernier calipers.

NOTE:

The float arm should be resting on the needle valve, but not compressing the needle valve.

  • If the float height is not within specification, inspect the valve seat and needle valve.
  • If either is worn, replace them both.
  • If both are fine, adjust the float height by bending the float tab ⑥ on the float.
  • Recheck the float height.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - Fill: - 1

WARNING

  • Use only the designated quality brake fluid:
    otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance.
  • Refill with the same type of brake fluid; mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor performance.
  • Be careful that water does not enter the master cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock.

CAUTION:

Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.

The front fork requires careful attention. So it is recommended that the front fork be maintained at the dealers.

CAUTION:

To prevent an accidental explosion of air, the following instructions should be observed:

  • The front fork with a built-in piston rod has a very sophisticated internal construction and is particularly sensitive to foreign material.
    Use enough care not to allow any foreign material to come in when the oil is replaced or when the front fork is disassembled and reassembled.
  • Before removing the cap bolts or front forks, be sure to extract the air from the air chamber completely.

This shock absorber is provided with a separate type tank filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas. To prevent the danger of explosion, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber.

The manufacturer can not be held responsible for property damage or personal injury that may result from improper handling.

  1. Never tamper or attempt to disassemble the cylinder or the tank.
  2. Never throw the shock absorber into an open flame or other high heat. The shock absorber may explode as a result of nitrogen gas expansion and/or damage to the hose.
  3. Be careful not to damage any part of the gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair the damping performance or cause a malfunction.
  4. Take care not to scratch the contact surface of the piston rod with the cylinder; or oil could leak out.
  5. Never attempt to remove the plug at the bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very dangerous to remove the plug.
  6. When scrapping the shock absorber, follow the instructions on disposal.

If the main switch is set to "ON", the starter motor can only operate if at least one of the following conditions is met:

  • The transmission is in neutral (the neutral switch is closed).
  • The clutch lever is pulled to the handlebar (the clutch switch is closed).

The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the starter motor from operating when neither of these conditions has been met. In this instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is open so current cannot reach the starter motor. When at least one of the above conditions has been met the starting circuit cut-off relay is closed and the engine can be started by pressing the start switch.

- Speed sensor output voltage Output voltage not correct → Replace the speed sensor.

Measurement steps:

  • Elevate the front wheel and slowly rotate it.
  • Measure the voltage (DCV) of white lead and black lead. With each full rotation of the front wheel, the voltage reading should cycle from 0.6 V to 4.8 V to 0.6 V to 4.8 V.

3. Mesurer:

  • The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to take into consideration the air pressure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc., when adjusting the carburetor.
  • Perform a test run to check for proper engine performance (e.g., throttle response) and spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling. Use these readings to determine the best possible carburetor setting.

NOTE:

It is recommended to keep a record of all carburetor settings and external conditions (e.g., atmospheric conditions, track/surface conditions, lap times) to make future carburetor setting easier.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - NOTE: - 1

WARNING

  • The carburetor is a part of the fuel line. Therefore, be sure to install it in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable objects and any sources of fire.
  • Never look into the carburetor intake. Flames may shoot out from the pipe if the engine backfires while it is being started. Gasoline may be discharged from the accelerator pump nozzle when the carburetor has been removed.

MISE AU POINT MOTEUR

  • The carburetor is extremely sensitive to foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.). During installation, do not allow foreign matter to get into the carburetor.
  • Always handle the carburetor and its components carefully. Even slight scratches, bends or damage to carburetor parts may prevent the carburetor from functioning correctly. Carefully perform all servicing with the appropriate tools and without applying excessive force.
  • When the engine is stopped or when riding at no load, do not open and close the throttle unnecessarily. Otherwise, too much fuel may be discharged, starting may become difficult or the engine may not run well.
  • After installing the carburetor, check that the throttle operates correctly and opens and closes smoothly.

Atmospheric conditions and carburetor settings

Air temp.HumidityAir pressure (altitude)MixtureSetting

The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen in the air) determines the richness or leanness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer to the above table for mixture settings.

That is:

  • Higher temperature expands the air with its resultant reduced density.
  • Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxygen in the air by so much of the water vapor in the same air.
  • Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high altitude) reduces the density of the air.

Leak jet adjustment (accelerator pump adjustment)

The leak jet ① is a setting part that adjusts the flow of fuel discharged by the accelerator pump. Since the accelerator pump operates only when throttle is open, the leak jet is used to adjust a fuel mixture ratio for quick throttle opening and is therefore different from other setting parts that adjust a fuel mixture for each throttle opening (each engine speed).

  1. The engine breathes hard in quick throttle opening.

Select a leak jet having lower calibrating No. than standard to enrich the mixture.

#60 → #55

Relationship with throttle opening

The flow of the fuel through the carburetor main system is controlled by the main jet and then, it is further regulated by the area between the main nozzle and the jet needle.

The fuel flow relates to the diameter of the straight portion of the jet needle with the throttle 1/8 to 1/4 open and relates to the clip position with the throttle 1/8 to 3/4 open.

Therefore, the fuel flow is balanced at each stage of throttle opening by the combination of the jet needle straight portion diameter, and clip position.

* This should be taken simply for an example. It is necessary to set the carburetor while checking the operating conditions of the engine.

Selection of the secondary reduction ratio (Sprocket)

Secondary reduction ratio = of driven sprocket teethNumber of drive sprocket teeth

Standard secondary reduction ratio50/13 (3.846)

  • It is generally said that the secondary gear ratio should be reduced for a longer straight portion of a speed course and should be increased for a course with many corners. Actually, however, as the speed depends on the ground condition of the day of the race, be sure to run through the circuit to set the machine suitable for the entire course.
  • In actuality, it is very difficult to achieve settings suitable for the entire course and some settings may be sacrificed. Thus, the settings should be matched to the portion of the course that has the greatest effect on the race result. In such a case, run through the entire course while making notes of lap times to find the best balance; then, determine the secondary reduction ratio.
  • If a course has a long straight portion where a machine can run at maximum speed, the machine is generally set such that it can develop its maximum revolutions toward the end of the straight line, with care taken to avoid the engine over-revving.

NOTE:

Riding technique varies from rider to rider and the performance of a machine also vary from machine to machine. Therefore, do not imitate other rider's settings from the beginning but choose your own setting according to the level of your riding technique.

Tire pressure

Tire pressure should be adjust to suit the road surface condition of the circuit.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - Tire pressure - 1

Standard tire pressure: 100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm ^2 , 15 psi)

- Under a rainy, muddy, sandy, or slippery condition, the tire pressure should be lower for a larger area of contact with the road surface.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - Tire pressure - 2

Extent of adjustment: 60 \~ 80 kPa (0.6 \~ 0.8 kgf/cm², 9.0 \~ 12 psi)

- Under a stony or hard road condition, the tire pressure should be higher to prevent a flat tire.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - Tire pressure - 3

Extent of adjustment: 100 \~ 120 kPa (1.0 \~ 1.2 kgf/cm², 15 \~ 18 psi)

The front fork setting should be made depending on the rider's feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions.

The front fork setting includes the following three factors:

  1. Setting of air spring characteristics

- Change the fork oil level.

  1. Setting of spring preload

  2. Change the spring.
    • Install the adjustment washer.

  3. Setting of damping force

  4. Change the compression damping.

  5. Change the rebound damping.

The spring acts on the load and the damping force acts on the cushion travel speed.

EC723001

Change in level and characteristics of fork oil

Damping characteristic near the final stroke can be changed by changing the fork oil amount.

CAUTION:

Adjust the oil level in 5 mm (0.2 in) increments or decrements. Too low oil level causes the front fork to produce a noise at full rebound or the rider to feel some pressure on his hands or body. Alternatively, too high oil level will develop unexpectedly early oil lock with the consequent shorter front fork travel and deteriorated performance and characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within the specified range.

The spring preload is adjusted by installing the adjustment washer ① between the fork spring ② and damper rod ③.

CAUTION:

Do not install three or more adjustment washers for each front fork.

WARNING

Always adjust each front fork to the same setting. Uneven adjustment can cause poor handling and loss of stability.

Setting of spring after replacement

As the front fork setting can be easily affected by rear suspension, take care so that the machine front and rear are balanced (in position, etc.) when setting the front fork.

1. Use of soft spring

Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become stronger and the front fork may sink deeply over a series of gaps.

To set a soft spring:

  • Change the rebound damping.
    Turn out one or two clicks.
  • Change the compression damping.
    Turn in one or two clicks.

2. Use of stiff spring

Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar.

To set a stiff spring:

  • Change the rebound damping.
    Turn in one or two clicks.
  • Change the compression damping.
    Turn out one or two clicks.

Rear suspension setting

The rear suspension setting should be made depending on the rider's feeling of an actual run and the circuit conditions.

The rear suspension setting includes the following two factors:

  1. Setting of spring preload

  2. Change the set length of the spring.

  3. Change the spring.

  4. Setting of damping force

  5. Change the rebound damping.

  6. Change the compression damping.

Choosing set length

  1. Place a stand or block under the engine to put the rear wheel above the floor, and measure the length ⓐ between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
  2. Remove the stand or block from the engine and with a rider astride the seat, measure the sunken length ⓑ between the rear wheel axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
  3. Loosen the locknut ① and make adjustment by turning the spring adjuster ② to achieve the standard figure from the subtraction of the length ⑥ from the length ⑧.

YAMAHA WR450F-2007 - Choosing set length - 1

Standard figure: 90 \~ 100 mm (3.5 \~ 3.9 in)

  • If the machine is new and after it is broken in, the same set length of the spring may change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-evaluation.
  • If the standard figure cannot be achieved by adjusting the spring adjuster and changing the spring set length, replace the spring with an optional one and make re-adjustment.

EC72G001

Setting of spring after replacement

After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring to the set length [sunken length 90 \~ 100 mm (3.5 \~ 3.9 in)] and set it.

  1. Use of soft spring

- Set the soft spring for less rebound damping to compensate for its less spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the softer side and readjust it to suit your preference.

  1. Use of stiff spring

- Set the soft spring for more rebound damping to compensate for its greater spring load. Run with the rebound damping adjuster one or two clicks on the stiffer side and readjust it to suit your preference.

* Adjusting the rebound damping will be followed more or less by a change in the compression damping. For correction, turn the low compression damping adjuster on the softer side.

N.B.:
