I had a 2001 WR 400 was at the time a great bike, I know there is a huge gap in between the 2 and I rode a 2009 and was a little disappointed with the bike. I currently ride a 2009 Husky WR 300 with a 360 engine transplant....absolute weapon with good manners even compared to modern machinery with or without mods, capacity, 2 stroke ( TPI and non ) 4 stroke or make. I'm now just over 40 and looking for another great bike to ride, how does this compare with the the other bikes out there today your input would be much appreciated....great review, I have waited for a decent Australian review for the 2019 WR 450.
the fx is 4kgs lighter, it doesnt come with a fan, lights, horn, speedo ect, the gas thank is smaller by 400mls and and the exhaust is less restrictive than the wr, the suspension valving may also be a tiny bit stiffer. other than that they're the same.
@@kx501 reliable sorry that's not true I have never had a failure with a hydraulic clutch since the first ktm came out with then, and none off my fellow racers have ever had a failure, as for the clutch pull weight don't know.
@@kx501 well I raced a grade and never seen one , you must go with ppl who crash lots. And if that's the true then we should all go back too drum brakes as well.
@@bigals.ktms.9937 KTMs Brembo clutch has a on off feel. Also it is realy hard to pull conpared to the Yamahas. Thats a fact. Yamahas Clutch exheleration is also very linear and easyier to feel and controll.
WR is out of the box an enduro weapon!!
man my 2014 is getting old i rally want one of these new yamahas
I know what you mean! My '99 wr400f has been telling me over the years don't retire me! But I think I'm ready for fuel injected electric start.
Rode 1 recently. Awesome bike. Amazing suspension and ridiculously easy to ride fast.
2:35 - woah absolutely wild

Buen review!!!!
Aunque hoy montó una husky 300, soy un gran fan de Yamaha 😉👍🏻
Felicitaciones
I'm curious about the removable fuel tank baffle! almost 2.4 gallons
Dang bro you’re a really good rider
Great review mate
Thanks for the review big fella you definitely sound honest and be able to take your word for it thanks mate 👍🇦🇺💯
How hard is it too restart when its hot?
Good vid bloke. Well done.
Is there much difference between this and the 450FX? Cheers

Yamaha wr450f is good ilov u ? Kapan ada di indonesia
I am trying to decide between a used 2018 and used 2019? Seems like the changes to the 2019 are worth ($500 more).
What's it like on road for commuting? And service intervals?
is it ok to remove the intake snorkel? and exhaust cork?
Throttle what about the cork at the end of the exhaust?
Throttle does your bikes header glow i notice it everytime i get home at night from riding
Top review M8. i wish my TTR250 would morph into a WR450F. Thanks again for an honest review. Cheers. 'Silver Top - Dougie'
Does it boil over when going slow?
indonesia love yamaha wr250/450f
Very good and informative video thanks 🙏
How do you remove the baffle for increased fuel capacity? Anybody know?
Great video
Thks.
A krap o vich
Its similar to Mila Jovović
I can't believe in 2019 Yamaha still persists in running a cable clutch on such a good bike.

Had a 15 ktm and now the 17 Yamaha. Yamahas cable clutch has way better feel and is waaayy easier to pull
@@vincentsauer99 sorry don't agree.

Should’ve made this street legal like the honda.
it is! that's the whole point of the WR compared to the YZ FX models.......you can even see the plate on the rear fender in the video!
Funny as fuck.
I actually own a 2019 WR 450F.
Nice bike
Nice
is it street legal ? what's the model name of the street legal ?
Nice review but i already got a cr550 (bb kit) in a 03 cr250 frame so i don't need to downgrade lol
Congrats. But i garuntee the WR is head and shoulders above ur CR in the woods
@@tl5108 i highly doubt anyone would ever be able to keep up with me on any 4 stroke BRAAAPPPPP
Very very rare have I seen a cr 500 enduro rider except for the legend Geoff Ballard who can actually ride it
@@tl5108 Well the WR won't blow it's guts for a start, as the old CR will.
i lov u yamaha wr 450f kapsn ada di indonesia
Mantapp
Suzuki dr450z is better out of the box, way better and easy set up for better enduro
Petrol powered bikes are boring, yawn
How hard is it too restart when its hot?
A little difficult but not too bad.
