ENGINE -
Lightweight, compact, 85 cc, liquid-cooled, crankcase reed-valve inducted, 2-stroke single.
-
Optimized Air Intake Design
- Optimized intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract.
-
Tuned Expansion Chamber
- Carefully matched to suit the YPVS™-equipped engine, the exhaust expansion chamber optimizes gas flow for enhanced power delivery, especially in the low- and mid-range.
-
Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS).
- Mechanical power valve system delivers effective exhaust timing throughout the entire rev range
- Provides excellent power and torque characteristics
- Boosts compression ratio and power output
- Delivers responsive acceleration just as the rider intends
- Slit-shaped valve on the side of the exhaust port operates in response to engine rpm
- In low-to-mid-rpm range when exhaust timing is slower, valve moves to cover the top part of the exhaust port
- In high rpm range when quick exhaust timing is needed, valve recedes and exhaust port is fully uncovered
- Shifting is reduced due to broad powerband
-
The crankcase design features a spacer-style reed valve intake for improved air/fuel flow
- Which inhales through a 28mm Hitachi Astemo® Keihin flat-slide carburetor for seamless throttle response.
-
Lightweight, forged piston.
- less reciprocating mass and less friction for a faster revving engine
- excellent durability

CDI ignition system.
- provides a hot, precise spark for fast sure starts
- provides optimal timing for quicker, stronger response at all rpms
- maintenance-free
-
Smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission.
- involute design increases the surface area contact between the gears
- special involute splines on main and drive shafts provide maximum engagement/hook-up for each gear for smoother, more positive shifts
