2023 Yamaha YZ65

Product Description

Smooth and easy to use power
The punchy 65cc liquid cooled engine is one of the most advanced in its class, and features a race developed crankcase reed valve induction system for instant throttle response. A key feature is the race-developed YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System) that gives smooth torque and power characteristics, making the YZ65 an ideal bike for young racers.

Light and stable handling
The YZ65 is equipped with a semi-double cradle steel frame that features an aluminum subframe, giving light and stable handling and easy agility. To soak up the harshest bumps this class-leading motocross bike comes with 36mm KYB upside down front forks, an aluminum swing arm and link-less mono-cross rear suspension. These main components combine to provide stability in the air and consistent lap times.

Effortless 6-speed transmission
The 6-speed transmission features carefully chosen gear ratios that have been specially developed to enable the rider to achieve lower lap times by fully utilizing the performance of the 65cc engine. Yamaha engineers have also designed the clutch plates and springs to give a light and easy clutch lever character.

Confident cornering
The 36mm KYB upside down front forks underline the fact that the YZ65 shares the same pure racing DNA that goes into our other YZ models. With their excellent rigidity, they give a planted front-end feel for confident cornering – and their long-travel tubes are built to soak up the bumpiest surfaces.
