2018 Yamaha YZ65

WELCOME TO THE VICTORY ZONE!

Introducing the all-new YZ65 designed for winning performance and unrivaled durability to lead a new generation of bLU cRU riders into the victorYZone.

Features may include:
  • Engine
All-New Two-Stroke Engine

The 65cc two-stroke powerplant is all new for the 2018 YZ65, and features the same advanced technologies found in Yamaha's race-winning YZ125 and YZ250 motocrossers.

Race-Developed Intake

Proven reed-valve induction improves acceleration and throttle response across the entire powerband, with a carefully tuned Keihin® PWK28 carburetor to meter fuel flow.

Yamaha Power Valve System

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

  • Chassis/Suspension
Compact Steel Frame

The YZ65 offers light, neutral handling built on an all-new steel cradle frame. Designed around the rigidity balance required for the 65cc class, this new frame delivers excellent grip feeling even across bumpy track surfaces, 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 on the full-size motocross bikes.

All-New Suspension Systems

Up front, a 36mm KYB® coil spring fork offers unmatched compliance with settings based on Yamaha’s extensive testing experience. Out back, a new link-less shock design is light and compact to suit the needs of 65cc-class riders, and controls a new swingarm with YZ125-style chain adjusters. Both front and rear suspension systems are tunable for both rebound and compression damping.

  • Additional
Adjustable Ergonomics

The YZ65 is highly tunable to fit riders of various sizes, with a 4-position adjustable aluminum taper handlebar clamp, adjustable position clutch and front brake levers, grippy foot pegs, and long seat design to help riders move across the bike.

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.
