* Front-end styling has been updated, with a new look for the front cowl.
* Special Edition gets a wave-type rear disc for great braking ability and race-ready looks, plus special front grab bar and footwells.
Engine:
* Forged lightweight piston, connecting rod and crankshaft in the 686cc engine are light and strong, for a hard-hitting, quick-revving powerplant that revs all the way to 9000 rpm. Dual counterbalancers keep it smooth.
* Yamaha fuel injection means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.
* Competition-spec dry-sump lubrication system boosts usable horsepower and keeps overall engine size more compact.
* Digital TCI w/16-bit electronic control unit controls fuel injection and ignition systems for consistent performance and fantastic throttle response.
* Reliable pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
* Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with Raptor 700R's monstrous powerband, means there's a choice of gears in just about all situations.
* YZ-spec ratchet shifter ensures smooth, resistance-free shifting under power. Heavy-duty clutch features extra-sturdy basket and plates designed to harness the Raptor 700R's power.
* Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter.
Chassis/Suspension:
* State-of-the-art chassis combines a steel front section with an aluminum rear section and detachable subframe to create a super-strong structure.
* Compact, CAD-designed chassis creates the ideal wheelbase for light, quick, super-accurate steering.
* YZ-style piggyback rear shock gives 10.1-inch wheel travel with high- and low-speed compression adjust ability for maximum sport versatility, along with preload and rebound adjustment.
* Front brake master cylinder features an adjustable lever for increased comfort and feel.
* Cast aluminum swing arm carries an eccentric quick-adjust drive chain mechanism that takes most of the work out of that task.
* Handlebar-mounted flip-type parking brake lever and rear brake caliper adjust automatically.
* High-performance 21x7-10 front and 20x10-9 rear Dunlop radials with a specially designed tread pattern deliver superb, class-leading traction for razor-sharp handling in a variety of terrain and conditions.
* Lightweight aluminum wheels help enhance suspension performance by reducing unsprung weight.
* YFZ450 twin-aluminum-piston front disc brakes and rear disc deliver tremendous stopping power with less unsprung weight.
* YFZ450 45mm serrated footpegs provide excellent boot traction.
* Controlled-fill aluminum subframe is light and strong. So is the composite front grab bar.
Additional Features:
* Long, YZ-style seat allows maximum rider comfort and movement with superb sport-riding ergonomics.
* YFZ450 30-watt multi-reflector Krypton headlights set back in the front cowl add the perfect no-compromises sporting accent, and an LED taillight provides great visibility.
