The 2009 off road motorcycle range has be unveiled. No EFI system on the YZ's for this year, but i suspect it will be a different story the following year. There doesn't seem to be any drastic engine mods but a fair few in the chassis and suspension department.
Unfortunately the 450 model is sporting the same stubby baffle first seen on the 2008 model, which was the main reason reviewers believed the bottom end was so timid. Well timid compared to the other 450 brands, the 250 seems to be sporting a more reasonable baffle. But looks aren't everything.
VitalMX.com have a good in depth article on the the mods.
Here's a list of a few new additions to the bikes.
- Top triple clamp has two sets of mounting holes, providing 4 handlebar positions to suit a wide variety of riders: standard, 10mm back, or 10mm or 20mm forward.
- Newly designed swingarm is lighter and helps to achieve excellent rigidity balance for superb cornering and rear wheel traction.
- Lightweight suspension linkage is redesigned to match the new swingarm.
- New axle blocks make chain adjustment a cinch.
- New clutch lever is shorter, stronger, and lighter, with a lever position adjuster to accommodate different riders. Quick adjuster makes maintenance easy.
- Premium drive chain has gold colored plates for outstanding looks.
