– 2006 Yamaha YZ85
YZ85
With the same chassis and engine technology that goes into every YZ, the scaled-down YZ85 has something in common with you: it’s every inch a competitor.
The YZ85, with its ultra-rigid high-tensile steel frame and 36mm inverted forks, weighs just 55kg (126lbs.) Powered by a compact but muscular liquid-cooled 85cc engine pumping the revs through a six-speed gearbox, this bike’s engineered to catch some major air — and trophies, too. Truly, this is full-sized performance in a scaled-down package.
Engine:
84.7cc, liquid-cooled, crankcase reed-valve inducted, 2-stroke single
Crankcase reed valve induction and 28mm Keihin flat-slide carburetor ensures seamless throttle response across the powerband, while aluminum carb body helps reduce weight
Lightweight, forged piston means less reciprocal mass and less friction for a faster revving engine with great durability
Digital CD ignition system provides a hot, precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing for quicker, stronger response during hard acceleration
Smooth-shifting, 6-speed transmission with involute splines on main and drive shafts are mated to a heavy-duty, multi-plate clutch delivering maximum hook-up for outstanding acceleration and corner-exiting power
Clutch cover features a quick remove sub-cover for fast, easy access during maintenance
Lightweight radiator with large size cores and computer-designed louvers provides maximum cooling efficiency
Washable, dual-stage, foam filter ensures great air filtering performance and easy, economical maintenance
Lightweight exhaust system is specially designed to create a broad powerband with strong low-end punch. The aluminum silencer is repackable to maintain optimum performance and reduced noise levels
Chassis/Suspension:
Semi-double cradle steel frame is ultra-lightweight and incredibly strong providing minimal flex for razor-sharp handling
Detachable rear subframe allows easy access for suspension maintenance
Lightweight, adjustable 36mm inverted Kayaba cartridge fork provide 275mm (10.8″) of wheel travel and adjust for compression and rebound damping. Adjustments include: 20 clicks of compression and 20 clicks of rebound damping. Their construction offers YZ250/125-design valving, low-friction outer tubes and internals to ensure a smooth, compliant stroke for superior handling and light steering
Monocross link rear suspension features a fully adjustable Kayaba piggyback shock providing 275mm (11.1″) of wheel travel. Adjustments include spring preload,20 clicks of compression and 20 clicks of rebound damping
