Yamaha WR450F

Motorcycle Law question: How do you make a Yamaha WR 450 F street legal? Answer have a C or 3 in the 8th digit of your serial number and your home free.

Street legal in Idaho

If you are wanting to park it for a while you will need an ignition switch. I got mine from Baja designs it was part number 12-8001

For Idaho all I need is a brake light, mirror, and horn.

The 2005 WR450 has a two filament tail light so all you need is a brake light switch for the foot control. Baja Designs sells a kit (part number 14-9000)

I also needed some street legal knobby tires

I chose the Dunlop D606

passenger pegs

I also wanted foot pegs in case a buddy needed a lift. I found them at Baja designs part number 21-0078. There was no picture, but they look like the footpegs for the XR450

Headlight

The WR450 headlight is in High beam mode all the time

You can add a switch to move it between High and low beam

The switch part number is 5NG-83976-50-00

Or at http://www.4strokesonly.com/Switches.html it is Part # 44-0338

If you want turn signals and everything above try buying the Baja Sport kit.

Key ignition

Rumor has it that the key ignition from a TTR125 part number 5HP-82510-00-00 will work on the WR450

I found one at the link below

http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/2005/TTR125ET%20TTR125E/ELECTRICAL%201/parts.html

Baja Designs will sell kit replacement parts (order the key kill switch and brake light and horn separately

call Baja designs at 760-560-2252 to see if the will sell the parts of their dual sport kit for the wr450.
