As the title says which one is it the same as or are they all the same? Also do the same years match up or is the yfz the same as the older models of the 2 wheelers or the same years.

i would asume the yz isnt eletric start so count that out.
the wr would be very similar, maybe a wider ratio gearbox.

I don't know about the R, but with comparing the YZ to the YFZ
Exhaust cam timing (thus the cam-mod)
Stroke 63.4 vs 62
Different flywheel
Slight differences in the FCR carbs

n the earlier models the YFZ was more similar to the WR, (you can make the same cam mod on a WR motor to the YZ timing) with a similar 5 speed gear box (compared to the YZs 4 speed) and electric start, there were also differences in the piston pin size and stroke from the first (03/04) YFZ's as they were stroked down to 439 cc to fit under the AMA/ATVA pro production rules at the time, a rule which was then changed the following year when Honda released the TRX450 so the YFZ got a new crank to bring it up to 449cc
