2020 YAMAHA YZ85

VICTORY… NEVER GIVEN ALWAYS EARNED

Step up to the perfect bike and earn victory after victory aboard this lightweight, 2-stroke that boasts reliability and agility.

Features may include:

ENGINE

• Potent YPVS Two-Stroke Engine

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

• Tuned Crankcase and Intake

The crankcase design features a spacer-style reed valve intake for improved gas flow, which inhales through a 28mm Keihin® flat-slide carburetor for seamless throttle response.

• Tuned Expansion Chamber

Carefully matched to suit the YPVS engine, the exhaust expansion chamber optimizes gas flow for enhanced power delivery, especially in the low- and mid-range.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

• Fully-Adjustable Fork

The lightweight 36mm KYB® inverted cartridge fork features 10.8 inches of travel with compression and rebound damping adjustability complete with low-friction outer tubes and internals. Damping settings offer enhanced performance across a range of conditions and rider abilities.

• Fully-Adjustable Shock

Rear suspension features fully adjustable Kayaba® link-type shock with 11.1 inches of travel and race-tested compression valving. The progressive linkage-type design improves bottoming resistance, allowing racers to charge harder and improve lap times.

• Refined Swingarm Design

The YZ85’s modern swingarm features a composite chain guide as well as push-style chain adjusters like the YZ125 for easier maintenance.

ADDITIONAL

• Adjustable Rider Ergonomics

Four-position adjustable handlebar mounts and taper-style handlebar allow the rider to tune the handlebar position to suit their size and preferences. The flat fuel tank, side panels and rear fender provide generous freedom of movement.
