YZ85LW
Yamaha YZ85LW for Sale at TeamMoto in QLD, NSW, VIC and ACT | Specifications and Review Information
Along with its proven liquid-cooled YPVS-equipped 85cc powerplant, fully adjustable suspension and large diameter brakes, the YZ85LW boasts numerous enhancements to expand its overall performance.
Rider ergonomics have been improved by way of a narrower tank design, flatter seat, side covers and slimmer, symmetrical radiator shrouds. This enables greater freedom of movement for smooth shifting of body weight and better machine control.
For demanding junior racers, the YZ85LW has been enhanced in several key chassis areas to optimise strength and rigidity, including revisions to the main frame, longer swingarm and rear wheel axle. The aluminium swingarm was redesigned to enhance balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity for improved handling stability. A removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium reduces weight. The rear brake master cylinder now has a built-in sub-reservoir providing more linear brake response and increased control.

YPVS 2-STROKE ENGINE
The 85cc liquid cooled engine features the Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) that boosts overall performance and contributes towards the bike's easy to use torque. Running with a high compression ratio - and equipped with a close ratio 6-speed transmission - the YZ85 delivers outstanding acceleration with race winning power.
LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM CHASSIS DESIGN
Built for demanding junior racers, the YZ85LW's chassis is optimised for strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminium swingarm offers refined balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium reduces weight.
ADJUSTABLE RIDER ERGONOMICS
The four-position adjustable handlebar mounts and taper-style handlebar allow the rider to tune the handlebar position to suit their size and preferences. Flat seat and narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slim shroud width, combine to enable greater freedom of movement for increased control and confidence.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE FRONT FORKS
The lightweight 36mm KYB ® inverted cartridge fork features 275mm of travel with compression and rebound damping adjustability. Complete with low-friction outer tubes and internals, the damping settings offer enhanced performance across a range of conditions and rider abilities.
IMPROVED AIR INTAKE
The air intake system has been redesigned and features new side panels with large rear facing vents for a straighter airflow into the engine's airbox, which, increases the intake efficiency for improved engine performance.
WAVE-STYLE BRAKE DISCS
Big wave-style brake discs offer improved self-cleaning and cooler-running performance. The 220mm front disc and 190mm rear disc deliver strong, precise stopping power. Rear brake master cylinder also includes built-in sub-reservoir to provide more linear brake response and increased control.
