Yamaha YZ125 Bikes

Yamaha YZ125

Yamaha’s YZ125 is a light, easy-to-handle two-stroke bike that is already ready to race when it comes off the showroom floor. The YZ125’s weight is much lighter than previous years’ models because of an aluminum frame, light and compact engine, aluminum handlebar, titanium footpegs, and a new aluminum front brake hose clamp, among other great parts. The YZ125 also has exceptional handling thanks to an innovative, advanced aluminum frame and swingarm.

Introduced in 1974, the YZ125 had an air-cooled engine and 32mm Mikuni carburetor. This changed in 1981 when the engines became liquid-cooled. Now, the bike sports a 38mm Mikuni TMX carburetor which provides amazing throttle response and horsepower. The six-speed, close-ratio transmission provides optimum performance, as well. Primary kick-starting allows for an easy restart in any gear.

Over the years, Yamaha has redesigned the YZ125, and now it is more comfortable and ergonomic to ride. It now has a specially designed gripper style seat and fuel tank, a forward-canted steering crown, and a low ProTaper handlebar, which all provide a wider range of movement, and a more comfortable ride.
