Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scoops are engineered exclusively for the Yamaha YZF450 produced between 2010 and 2013. Installation involves removing the old radiator shrouds and scoops, then securing the new Acerbis components using the original factory fasteners.
- Ensure the bike is clean and parked on a level surface.
- Remove the side panels to access the radiator scoop mounting bolts.
- Carefully unscrew the existing hardware, keeping track of washers and spacers.
- Align the Acerbis scoops and hand-tighten all bolts before applying final torque.
For care, wipe the plastic down with a dedicated plastic protectant to maintain the black finish and prevent UV-related fading or brittleness over time. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly against the plastic surfaces at close range to prevent surface scratching.
