2025 Yamaha YZ85LW Base

2025 Yamaha YZ85LW

Always go big! The YZ85 power and fun, combined with a large wheel package, allowing riders to bridge the gap to the next class. Featuring the Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS), fully-adjustable suspension, six-speed transmission and adjustable ergonomics, the YZ85LW is ready to win races straight off the dealership floor.

Features may include:

• LARGER FRONT & REAR WHEEL

The YZ85 Large Wheel (LW) model raises the bar for off-road capability with a larger 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel clad in high performance 70/100/19 front and 90/100/16 rear Dunlop® MX3S tires. Perfect for the advanced 85cc rider looking for a more "big-bike" feel.

• POTENT YPVS™ TWO-STROKE ENGINE

The 85cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine features the Yamaha Power Valve System for broad power across the rev range without losing peak power at high rpm—improving rideability and reducing the need for frequent shifting.

• CHASSIS ENHANCEMENTS

For demanding junior racers, the YZ85 LW's chassis is optimized for strength, rigidity and overall handling stability. The aluminum swingarm offers refined balance between longitudinal and torsional rigidity, and the removable rear subframe constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum reduces weight.

• A longer swingarm accommodates the larger rear wheel and increases handling stability

• Improved rider ergonomics with a narrower tank, flatter seat and slimmer, symmetrical shrouds offering greater freedom of movement

• Smooth-shifting, six-speed, close-ratio transmission
