What's New for Yamaha - 2007 ATV Sport Lineup

2007 Yamaha Sport Models

Jul. 14, 2006 By ORC STAFF

While the biggest news for Yamaha in 2007 is the new Grizzly in their Utiility lineup, there is still some very impressive changes in the sport lineup. We really dig the new Raptor SE colors. But beside colors some of the models get new high and low speed adjustable shocks and on the YFZ450 it gets two mods that are common for racers. One is changing out the bars for Pro Taper MX style bars and the other is the oil jet mod for the engine. This is a realatively cheap mod that most racers are performing but the problem is that you have tear the engine all the way down and split the cases before you can perform the mod.
