Yamaha YZ description
2014 YAMAHA YZ85, Key Features:
Liquid-cooled, 85cc crankcase reed-valve-inducted six-speed is light, compact, and designed to deliver hard-hitting, moto-winning power throughout the rpm range.
Ultra-rigid, single-backbone, semi-double-cradle frame is lightweight and strong for sharp handling.
Fully adjustable suspension allows a broad adjustment range to suit everybody from rank novice to mini expert.
Owning a Yamaha 2-stroke is less expensive to maintain.
Engine:
85cc liquid-cooled, crankcase reed-valve-inducted, two-stroke engine inhales through a 28mm Keihin flat-slide carburetor; seamless throttle response across the powerband is the result.
Digital CDI ignition system puts out a more precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing for quicker, stronger response during hard acceleration.
Smooth-shifting, six-speed close-ratio transmission with heavy-duty, multiplate clutch delivers maximum hookup for outstanding acceleration and corner-exiting power.
Involute spline set-up in clutch means smoother shifting under power with great durability at competition-level usage.
Two-piece clutch cover provides easy access during maintenance.
Lightweight radiator has large cores and louvers, and the water pump features a cast aluminum (vs. resin) impeller for maximum cooling efficiency.
Lightweight exhaust system design helps create a broader powerband with stronger low-end punch.
Airbox design ensures greater air cleaning performance and easier maintenance.
Chassis/Suspension:
Rear subframe is removable to allow easy maintenance.
Lightweight 36mm KYB inverted cartridge fork features 10.8 inches of travel with compression and rebound damping adjustability, and low-friction outer tubes and internals.
Rear suspension features fully adjustable Kayaba link-type shock with 11.1 inches of travel and race-tested compression damping valving.
220mm front disc and 190mm rear disc brakes with stainless steel rotors deliver strong, precise stopping power.
Lightweight 17-inch front and 14-inch rear rims are durable and reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance.
