Yoshimura RS-12 Stainless Full Exhaust for Yamaha YZ450F 2023-2025
Yoshimura RS-12 Signature Series for the 2023 Yamaha YZ450F
The legendary Yamaha YZ450F is completely reimagined for 2023 — lighter, faster, and built to inspire the next generation of motocross champions.
Improving an already exceptional machine wasn’t easy, but that’s exactly what we set out to do. Through extensive testing and refinement, Yoshimura’s engineering team dialed in the perfect combination of tube diameter, length, and design to unlock the YZ450F’s full potential.
The result is the all-new RS-12 Signature Series — a system that boosts maximum horsepower by 8% and torque by an incredible 13% across the powerband. The enhanced low- to mid-range response provides a more connected, controllable feel without affecting the YZ’s precise handling. Every twist of the throttle now delivers smoother, stronger acceleration that riders can truly feel.
