Most powerful YZ125 engine
The high-tech 125cc 2-stroke engine is the most powerful unit ever used on the YZ125. Equipped with Yamaha’s famous YPVS that gives instant response and excellent useability across the rpm range – and featuring lightweight race-bred internals – it’s destined to take you to the victorYZone!
Ultra-slim bodywork
The latest generation bodywork is ultraslim, with the area between the rider’s knees the narrowest it’s ever been on a YZ125 – and this athletic and modern design underlines the bike’s lightness and compactness. These slim dimensions give a high level of rider mobility and reinforce this lightweight racer’s feeling of agility.
Keihin Powerjet carburettor
The YZ125 is equipped with a Keihin PWK 38,1mm carburettor featuring a solenoid controlled powerjet for even more explosive performance – giving a real advantage out of the gate and when accelerating hard out of corners. A TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and 3D map controlled CDI ensure optimized ignition timing, while the V-Force reed valve assembly ensures optimum intake e ciency at all engine speeds.
Smooth shifting 6-speed transmission
Every second counts, and for reduced lap times the YZ125 runs with a supersmooth shifting 6-speed transmission that enables you to accelerate e ciently and stay out in front. Transmission ratios have been carefully chosen by Yamaha’s engineers to maximize race performance and power output in all conditions.
High e ciency air intake
The complete intake system has been developed to provide the smoothest possible ow of air into the 38.1mm carburettor for a high level of engine e ciency. Components including the seat base, rear frame and sidepanels are all designed to reduce air resistance for stronger and more useable power output.
Race developed ergonomics
Engine performance is just one element of being competitive – the ability to handle the power e ectively and take total control of the chassis is also vital. A at seat with a low front combined with a slim tank and narrow radiator shrouds make it easy to shift your weight around the bike for increased controllability when braking, accelerating and cornering.
