– 2006 Yamaha PW80
The PW80 is a spunky, reliable bike that’s perfect for young riders who are looking for a more muscular mount.
Powered by a 79cc 2-stroke engine with an easy-shifting 3-speed transmission featuring automatic clutch and electronic ignition, this bike is just right for the rookie dirt demon in your family. A removable, power-limiting exhaust restrictor allows parents or adult supervisors to increase power output as a rider’s skill level improves. The automatic clutch emphasizes the basics of riding not shifting. The 25” seat height makes for a low centre of gravity and better handling. The lightest bike in its class – and available in Team Yamaha blue and white – this puppy will have your little ones feeling like they’re runnin’ with the big dogs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adult supervision and proper protective riding gear, including a helmet, are a must when a youngster is operating a PW80.
Engine:
Air-cooled, 79cc, reed-valve, 2-stroke engine delivers potent yet predictable power with smooth, torquey low-end performance.
Reed-valve intake system smooths power delivery and widens the powerband.
Smooth-shifting 3-speed transmission with automatic clutch is easy to use and introduces new riders to the basics of shifting without worrying about clutching.
Electronic CDI ignition produces a hot, reliable spark for fast starts and is virtually maintenance-free.
Exclusive Autolube Oil Injection System eliminates need to premix fuel and oil. This system precisely meters the exact amount of oil required by the engine. The oil tank is equipped with a sight glass to see actual oil level.
Washable foam air filter reduces maintenance costs.
Quiet, environmentally friendly exhaust system with heat shields will keep everybody happy. It also features a spark arrestor to protect Mother Nature.
Chassis/Suspension:
Rugged steel tube backbone-type frame.
Rugged triangulated steel swingarm.
Leading axle 26mm front fork provides 110mm (4.3″) of travel for confidence-inspiring control over rough terrain.
Monocross single shock rear suspension provides 95mm (3.7″) of wheel travel delivering progressive suspension performance to smooth out rugged trails. Two-stage spring preload can be adjusted to suit rider’s weight.
Low 635mm (25″) seat height creates a handling-enhancing low centre of gravity and allows most riders to put both feet firmly on the ground for added confidence.
