2022 Yamaha YZ125X Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
ENGINE
- GNCC®-Tuned YZ125 Power
Based on the legendary 125cc liquid-cooled, reed-valve-inducted YZ two-stroke engine, the YZ125X utilizes a revised compression ratio, Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™) timing and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating broad power delivery that suits off-road terrain and a wide range of rider skill levels. - Revised Power Valve
The YZ125X features the patented Yamaha Power Valve System—with broader opening timing compared to the motocross version for smoother power—to create a smooth balance of power across the rev range. - Narrow Exhaust Pipe
The compact exhaust expansion chamber provides both horizontal and vertical clearance on tight, technical trails while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency. - Racing Intake System
Specially designed carbon fiber reed-valve petals improve throttle response and engine performance across the entire rpm range. - Six-Speed Transmission
Smooth-shifting six-speed transmission ensures proper gearing, from tight woods to wide-open fire roads, optimizing power delivery from the two-stroke powerplant. - YZ125 Cooling System
Large-capacity radiator features a large cooling core with protective louvers for maximum cooling efficiency and durability in racing conditions. - Digital Ignition
Specifically tuned for the needs of the YZ125X, the digital CDI ignition system delivers precise spark for faster, stronger response anywhere in the powerband.
