Yamaha WR450F - 2004 model.
I purchased this bike as a rolling chassis and many boxes of parts in May last year. The previous owner had started work on it as a complete make-over project and then decided to get a new bike instead.
This bike is literally brand new, and looks, sounds and rides like it too. It has done less than 1500km since it was first fired up last July. Oil is changed regularly, and the air filter cleaned after each ride.
Many of the inherent standard WR faults have been addressed during the rebuild:
- Carby drain hoses tee-d and re-routed to ensure proper breathing.
- Crankcase breather hose has been re-routed to the airbox to ensure creek crossings aren’t an issue.
- Oil filter drain bolt hole has been modified to stop potential thread damage
- Larger capacity radiators installed to assist with cooling in slower riding conditions
- Chain guide/rub block added to stop potential subframe wear
The list of new and upgraded parts for this bike is extensive, but I will highlight a few:
- Late model styled guards and headlight
- Renthal top triple clamp to suit tapered bars
- Tag T2 Taper bars
- Devol radiator guards
- Powerbomb header pipe
- Late model muffler
- Wiseco forged piston kit (std bore, std comp)
- YZ450 carby from a 2006 model
- Near new Bridgestone M403/M404 tyres
- Motobatt dry cell battery
The bike comes with 12 months Victorian Rec Rego. There is nothing to spend on this bike – it is ready to ride.
I have purchased a new project and need to make some room in the shed...hence the reason for sale.
Price is $4000
PM me if you want more info, or to tee up a test ride - bike is located in the Yarra Valley near Healesville
