Yamaha WR450F Radiator Guards

The stock Yamaha WR450F has no radiator protection or support, and the radiator itself has no extra stiffening ribs. In crashes, which are inevitable off-road, the radiator frame and cores deform even without direct impacts, just from small knocks. This is a factory shortcoming, since enduro involves crashes and the stock bike is not prepared for them.

After a few rides we noticed that the radiator cores had «warped», so we immediately decided to fit guards. We chose Moose Racing aluminum radiator guards. The kit includes everything needed for installation, including instructions, but at first it wasn't easy to figure out what goes where, as there are a lot of parts and different fasteners. So we decided to film a detailed video!
