Is there a difference between the 09' and 08' YFZ450???

Question

The ATV yfz450......

Answer 1

How would we know?  Very little data comes from japan before the big Japanese car show, later in the year.  For all I know they may discontinue it before 2009 arrives.

Answer 2

Changes to the 450 YZF are similar to the 250, with the following exceptions: No changes to the exhaust, tires or suspension units. Instead the big news is, drum roll, the number of stator mounting points have increased from three to four! Okay, nothing revolutionary there, but first and third gear shift fork bars are 4mm longer to improve shifts between second and third.

After that the revisions are essentially identical to the 250F, with a new swingarm and linkage, rear hub and top triple clamp. Also modified is the clutch lever assembly, front brake hose holder, gold chain and seat surface. Hope that helps! =)
