It is designed specifically for 2006 and newer YFZ450 model years, ensuring a precise, fitment-ready installation using your factory components.
Available in stock length or extended versions up to +6 inches, this swing arm gives you real control over your quad's geometry and handling characteristics.

Key Features
- 4130 Chromoly Steel Construction: Superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to stock - built to handle the rigors of racing and hard riding.
- Front Needle Bearings Included: Comes with front needle bearings pre-included for a complete, ready-to-install upgrade.
- Factory Bearing Housing Compatible: Uses the factory bearing housing (or LSR housing) and factory brake plate, keeping installation straightforward and cost-effective.
- Chain Guide Mount Included: Always comes with a chain guide mount compatible with stock or Banshee-style chain guides.
- Optional Skid Plate Mounts: Add skid plate mounts at checkout for added underbelly protection - ideal for trail and desert riding.
- Multiple Length Options: Choose from Stock, +1", +2", +4", or +6" lengths to fine-tune your wheelbase and handling for your specific riding style.
- 2006-UP YFZ450 Fitment Only: Engineered exclusively for 2006 and newer Yamaha YFZ450 models - not compatible with 2004-05 year builds.
- Stock Chain Slider Compatible: Designed to use the stock chain slider (not included), minimizing additional parts cost.
- Lone Star Racing (LSR) Brand: A trusted name in ATV performance parts, with a long track record in racing and high-performance applications.
Length Options & Which to Choose
- Stock Length: Maintains your YFZ450's original wheelbase and handling feel. Best for riders who want the strength and quality of chromoly construction without changing their bike's geometry - ideal for trail riders and those upgrading from a worn or damaged OEM arm.
- +1": A subtle stretch that slightly improves high-speed stability and rear traction with minimal impact on turning radius. Great for riders wanting a mild improvement for desert or cross-country racing.
- +2": A popular choice for versatile builds that need improved straight-line stability while still maintaining acceptable cornering. Works well for mixed terrain and light drag applications.
- +4": A significant stretch suited for dedicated drag racing or riders who prioritize straight-line speed and rear traction over tight cornering. Noticeably changes handling characteristics.
- +6": Maximum extension for serious drag builds. Greatly increases wheelbase for maximum rear traction and stability at high speeds. Best for experienced builders focused on drag strip performance.

FAQ
Will this swing arm fit my 2004 or 2005 Yamaha YFZ450?
No - this swing arm is designed exclusively for 2006 and newer Yamaha YFZ450 models. The 2004-05 YFZ450 uses a different design and requires a separate swing arm. Check out the Lone Star Racing YFZ450 Swing Arm for 2004-05 if you have an earlier model.
Does the swing arm come with a chain slider?
No, the chain slider is not included. This swing arm is designed to use your stock chain slider, which can be reused from your existing setup or sourced separately.
What length should I choose for drag racing?
For dedicated drag racing builds, the +4" or +6" options are the most popular choices. The longer wheelbase improves straight-line stability and rear traction at high speeds. The +6" is the most aggressive option and is best suited for experienced builders with a purpose-built drag quad.
What is the lead time if the item is not in stock?
Lead times can vary and may be 10 weeks or more depending on current production schedules. If your project is time-sensitive, we strongly recommend contacting us before ordering to confirm availability or estimated ship date.
Do I need to buy new bearings or a new brake plate?
Front needle bearings are included with the swing arm. The design is built to reuse your factory bearing housing and factory brake plate, so in most cases you will not need to purchase those separately.
Can I get the swing arm in a custom color?
Yes - a "Custom Color" finish option is available at checkout. Simply specify your desired color in the order notes and the team will work with you on the finish. Standard color options like Candy Red, Candy Blue, Gloss Black, Flat Black, and Gloss White are also available.
