ENGINE -
Optimized Air Intake Design
- Optimized intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract.
-
Lightweight, compact, 85 cc, liquid-cooled, crankcase reed-valve inducted, 2-stroke single.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Quick-remove, clutch sub-cover.
-
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
