As provided by my sources in 2001 year and started to make WR426, but
some guys in our Yamaha dealership say it (WR400) is still in
production. I'm suspecting they're trying to sell the outdated model
as current.
Does anybody have the official information from Yamaha Europe, US,
etc?

Thanks buddies

they make both still, as far as I'm aware. There are a few differences,
the 400 has the tamer motor, and possibly a larger tank and other
changes.

er sorry, that was regarding australia anyway. I don't see why it'd be
different over your way, but who knows.

Both are available in Europe (Sweden) and the only difference is the engine.

This quote was taken by arrow101 in the ThumperTalk.com WR/YZ 400/426
forum.

"In australia we have the WR 250F, WR 400F and the WR 426F. it is most
likely in europe too as the classes for the enduro's follow 251cc and
under 4 stroke, 251cc to 401cc 4 stroke and 401cc and above 4 stroke,
they have retained the wr 400f so that yammie can run 3 bikes in the
classes therefore keep more people happy."

OK, one more question,
what about price difference between a brand new 2002 400F and 426F?
(in your regions, just for my references)

Thanks again

I don't think there is any difference, or if there is it's only a couple
of hundred dollars. I'm pretty sure the Australian 400 has a smaller
tank then the 426.
