Exciting 65cc YPVS Two-Stroke Engine
Featuring the same advanced technologies found in the race-winning YZ125 and YZ250 motocrossers, this little ripper's compact 65cc two-stroke powerplant also includes Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) that delivers crisp bottom-end torque with potent mid-range and free-revving top-end for exhilarating two-stroke power that's fun and easy to manage for smaller riders.
High Performance Adjustable Suspension
The YZ65 gets high performance KYB® suspension with a 36mm coil spring fork offering excellent compliance with settings based on Yamaha's extensive racing experience. The linkless shock design is light and compact and works through a swingarm with YZ125-style chain adjusters. Both front and rear suspension feature adjustable rebound and compression damping.
Advanced Motocross Frame
The YZ65 offers light, neutral handling in a chassis based on an advanced steel cradle frame that's designed around the rigidity balance required for the 65cc class. Delivering excellent bump absorption in the roughest track sections, on jump landings, and through whoop sections, the YZ also features a removable aluminum rear subframe constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight and convenient maintenance, just like the full-size YZ motocross bikes.
Adjustable Ergonomics
Highly adjustable and tunable to fit various rider sizes, the YZ65 comes with a four-position adjustable aluminum handlebar clamp, adjustable clutch and front brake levers, grippy foot pegs, and a long, flat seat design allowing riders move across the bike.
