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 kick starter 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.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Turn the fuel cock to "ON".
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
4. Fully open the cold starter knob ①.
5. Kick the kick starter.

WARNING

Do not open the throttle while kicking the kick starter. Otherwise, the kick starter may kick back.

1. 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.

Do not operate the cold starter knob and throttle. Pull the hot starter lever ① and start the engine by kicking the kick starter 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.

The engine fails to start

Pull the hot starter lever all the way out and while holding the lever, kick the kick starter 10 to 20 times to clear the engine.

Then, restart the engine.

Refer to "Restarting an engine after a fall".

1. Before starting the engine, fill the fuel tank with the fuel.
2. Perform the pre-operation checks on the machine.
3. Start and warm up the engine. Check the idle speed, and check the operation of the controls and the "ENGINE STOP" button. Then, restart the engine and check its operation within no more than 5 minutes after it is restarted.
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, CAMSHAITS 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.

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 base valves 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.

EC587000

NOTES ON DISPOSAL (YAMAHA DEALERS ONLY)

Before disposing the shock absorber, be sure to extract the nitrogen gas from valve ①. Wear eye protection to prevent eye damage from escaping gas and/or metal chips.

A map-controlled, CDI ignition system is used in the YZ450F.

The microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the engine speed and throttle position, thus determining the optimum ignition timing through the entire operating range. In this way, quick throttle response can be achieved according to various riding conditions.

Function of Component

Component	Function
TPS(throttle position sensor)	Detects throttle valve opening and inputs it into the computer in the CDI unit as a throttle opening signal.
Pickup coil	Detects signal rotor revolutions and inputs them into the computer in the CDI unit as engine revolution signals.
CDI unit	The signals of the TPS and pickup coil sensor are analyzed by the computer in the CDI unit, which then adjusts ignition timing for the operation requirements.

Principal of 3-Dimensional Control

Conventionally, ignition timing was controlled only by engine revolutions (2-dimensional control).

However, ignition timing needs advancement also by engine load. Thus, accurate ignition timing can be determined by adding throttle opening to determine ignition timing (3-dimensional control).

• 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.

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.	Humidity	Air pressure (altitude)	Mixture	Setting
High	High	Low (high)	Richer	Leaner
Low	Low	High (low)	Leaner	Richer

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.

Effects of the setting parts on the throttle valve opening

① Pilot screw/pilot jet
② Throttle valve cutaway
③ Jet needle
(4) Main jet

Main system

The FLATCR carburetor has a primary main jet. This type of main jet is perfect for racing machines since it supplies an even flow of fuel, even at full load. Use the main jet and the jet needle to set the carburetor.

① Jet needle
② Pilot air jet
③ Needle jet
④ Main jet
⑤ Pilot jet
⑥ Pilot screw

The FLATCR carburetor is manufactured with a pilot screw. The pilot screw adjustment ranges from fully closed throttle to 1/4 open throttle.

Main jet adjustment

The richness of the air-fuel mixture at full throttle can be set by changing the main jet ①.

Standard main jet

Pilot screw adjustment

The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the throttle fully closed to 1/4 open can be set by turning the pilot screw ① . Turning in the pilot screw will make the mixture lean at low speeds, and turning it out will enrich it.

Standard pilot screw position (example)

1-1/4

NOTE:

• If the idling speed fluctuates, turn the pilot screw only 1 / 2 of a turn in either direction.
• To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle opening, each machine's pilot screw has been individually set at the factory. Before adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and count the number of turns. Record this number as the factory-set number of turns out.

(Diameter of the straight portion)

Changing the diameter of the straight portion adjusts the air-fuel mixture when the throttle is 1/8 to 1/4 open.

A Idle

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.

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.

#55 → #50

1. Rough engine operation is felt in quick throttle opening.

ratio

$$ N u m b e r o f d r i v e s p r o c k e t t e e t h $$

Standard secondary reduction ratio

49/13 (3.769)

• 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.

Standard tire pressure: 100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm², 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.

Extent of adjustment: 60 80 kPa (0.6 0.8 ~kgf / cm^2, 9.0 12 psi)

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

Extent of adjustment: 100 120 kPa (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf/cm ^2 , 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

2. Change the fork oil amount.

3. Setting of spring preload

4. Change the spring.

5. Setting of damping force

6. Change the compression damping.

7. Change the rebound damping.

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

EC723001

Change in amount and characteristics of fork oil

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

CAUTION:

Adjust the oil amount in 5cm^3 (0.2 Imp oz, 0.2 US oz) increments or decrements. Too small oil amount 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 large oil amount will cause the air spring characteristics to have a tendency to be stiffer with the consequent deteriorated performance and characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within the specified range.

Standard oil amount: 340~cm^3 (12.0 Imp oz, 11.5 US oz) *350 cm³ (12.3 Imp oz, 11.8 US oz)

Extent of adjustment: 300 380 ~cm^3 (10.6 ~ 13.4 Imp oz, 10.1 ~ 12.8 US oz)

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.

• 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.

1. Place a stand or block under the engine to put the rear wheel above the floor, and measure the length ⑧ 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 ⑥ 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.

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

NOTE:

• 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.

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

2. 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.

3. Use of stiff spring

4. 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.

5. 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.

CAUTION:

When using a rear cushion other than currently installed, use the one whose overall length ⑧ does not exceed the standard as it may result in faulty performance. Never use one whose overall length is greater than standard.

NOTE:

• The unequal-pitch spring is softer in initial characteristic than the equal-pitch spring and is difficult to bottom out under full compression.
• The I.D. mark ⑧ is marked at the end of the spring.
• Spring specification varies according to the color and quantity of I.D. marks.
