LARGER FRONT & REAR WHEEL

The new YZ85 Large Wheel (LW) model raises the bar for off-road capability with a larger 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel clad in high performance 70/100/19 front and 90/100/16 rear Dunlop® MX3S tires. Perfect for the advanced 85cc rider looking for a more "big-bike" feel.

POTENT YPVS™ TWO-STROKE ENGINE

The 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine features the Yamaha Power Valve System for broad power across the rev range without losing peak power at high rpm—improving rideability and reducing the need for frequent shifting.

CHASSIS ENHANCEMENTS

For demanding junior racers the new YZ85 has been enhanced in several key chassis areas to optimize strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. Enhancements include the main frame, swingarm and rear wheel axle. The aluminum swingarm was redesigned to refine balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity. A new removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum reduces weight.

ENGINE

Lightweight, compact, 85 cc, liquid-cooled, crankcase reed-valve inducted, 2-stroke single.
New Air Intake Design
- Updated 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
- gear ratios are well matched to engine output
- Gear dimensions optimized for YPVS engine performance
Heavy-duty, multi-plate clutch.
- smooth positive shifting
Quick-remove, clutch sub-cover.
- fast, easy clutch access
Lightweight radiator with high-capacity cores and special louvers to direct the air through the rad.
- maximum cooling efficiency
Large-capacity airbox with washable, dual-stage, foam filter.
- excellent filtering qualities
  reduced expenses
Lightweight exhaust system.
- expansion chamber designed to match the output of YPVS engine
- aluminium silencer is re-packable to maintain optimum performance and reduced noise levels

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

The new YZ85 has been enhanced in several key chassis areas to optimize strength, rigidity and overall handling stability including the main frame, swingarm and rear wheel axle.
Lightweight 17-inch front and 14-inch rear rims are durable and reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance.
Rigid, semi-double cradle, single backbone, steel frame.
- blend of light weight and good strength
- minimal flex for razor-sharp, moto-wining handling
Detachable rear subframe.
- allows easy access for suspension maintenance
- reduces costs in the event of a loop-out (subframe can be purchased separately)
Lightweight box-section aluminium swingarm.
- composite chain guide and updated chain adjusters provide easier maintenance
- provides excellent rear-wheel control and traction
Adjustable 36 mm inverted KYB fork with 275 mm (10.8 in) of wheel travel.
- low-friction outer tubes and internals are similar to full-size YZ models
- 20 clicks of both compression and rebound damping
- adjustable design allows suspension settings to match rider weight, rider style and track conditions
- YZ125 / 250-based "big bike" valving and low-friction fork seals
- smooth, compliant stroke for superior suspension performance and handling
- front fork guard redesigned with brake hose outside of fork guard
Fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension provides 282 mm (11.1 in) of wheel travel.
