Works Connection Radiator Braces (Silver/Black) 18-269 - Yamaha YZ450F / YZ250F / WR450F / YZ450FX 2023-2025

Product Description

Shield your cooling system from costly impact damage with Works Connection Radiator Braces. Designed specifically for modern Yamaha four-stroke competition machines, these braces reinforce factory aluminum radiators against frontal impacts, side deflections, and rollover forces. By bracing the perimeter and core structure, collision energy is dispersed away from vulnerable tank seams and cooling rows, keeping you on the trail or track instead of dealing with bent or punctured radiators.

Manufactured in the USA, each brace is CNC-machined and formed from aircraft grade 5052 aluminum to maintain high structural strength without adding unnecessary mass. Available in raw Silver or a Black satin powder-coated finish, the assembly incorporates a CNC billet bracket system featuring rubber vibration isolators that dampen mechanical vibrations and reduce fatigue on mounting points. Engineered to tuck in cleanly behind factory radiator shrouds, these braces preserve your machine's narrow ergonomics without rider interference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What finish options are available for this brace kit?
A: These braces are available in either raw Silver or a Black satin powder-coated finish.

Q: Is mounting hardware included with these radiator braces?
A: Yes. All necessary mounting hardware is included for a direct bolt-on installation.

Q: Do these braces require trimming or modifying factory plastics?
A: No. These braces are custom-fit to mount cleanly behind your stock radiator shrouds without requiring plastic modification.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing radiator braces on your Yamaha, leave all mounting bolts finger-tight until every fastener and shroud bolt is fully engaged. Once the shroud and brace are aligned squarely, torque the fasteners down evenly in a crisscross pattern. This prevents thread binding and ensures the rubber vibration isolators sit square and stress-free against the frame mounts.
