New 2022 Yamaha YZ65

Designed for the discriminating mini-moto racer with dreams of victory. The YZ65 is the perfect first step into the victory zone.

Features may include:

• Potent Two-Stroke Engine

The 65cc two-stroke powerplant features the same advanced technologies found in Yamahas race-winning YZ125 and YZ250 motocrossers.

• Race-Developed Intake

With a carefully tuned Hitachi Astemo Keihin PWK28 carburetor to meter fuel flow, the proven reed-valve induction improves acceleration and throttle response across the entire powerband.

• Yamaha Power Valve System

Patented YPVS combines crisp bottom-end torque with potent mid-range and free-revving top-end, making the most of the compact engine and lightweight chassis.

• Compact Steel Frame

The YZ65 offers light, neutral handling built on a strong steel cradle frame. Designed around the rigidity balance required for the 65cc class, this frame delivers excellent bump absorption in the roughest track sections, jump landings and whoop sections.

• Lightweight Subframe

Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight and convenient maintenance, just like the full-size motocross bikes.

• Adjustable Suspension Systems

Up front, a 36mm KYB coil spring fork offers excellent compliance with settings based on Yamahas extensive testing experience. Out back, a link-less shock design is light and compact and works through a swingarm with YZ125-style chain adjusters. Both front and rear suspension systems are tunable for both rebound and compression damping.

• Adjustable Ergonomics

With a four-position adjustable aluminum handlebar clamp, adjustable position clutch and front brake levers, grippy foot pegs and long seat design to help riders move across the bike, the YZ65 is highly tunable to fit riders of various sizes.

• Aggressive YZ Family Styling

The YZ65 may be the smallest member of the family, but it packs in the same aggressive styling as the larger YZ and YZ-F siblings. Even down to the slick blue Excel wheels.
