ENGINE

GNCC®-Tuned YZ125 Power

Based on the legendary 125cc liquid-cooled, reed-valve-inducted YZ two-stroke engine, the YZ125X utilizes a revised compression ratio, Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™) timing and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating broad power delivery that suits off-road terrain and a wide range of rider skill levels.

Revised Power Valve

The YZ125X features the patented Yamaha Power Valve System—with broader opening timing compared to the motocross version for smoother power—to create a smooth balance of power across the rev range.

Narrow Exhaust Pipe

The compact exhaust expansion chamber provides both horizontal and vertical clearance on tight, technical trails while still providing excellent exhaust efficiency.

Racing Intake System

Specially designed carbon fiber reed-valve petals improve throttle response and engine performance across the entire rpm range.

Six-Speed Transmission

Smooth-shifting six-speed transmission ensures proper gearing, from tight woods to wide-open fire roads, optimizing power delivery from the two-stroke powerplant.

YZ125 Cooling System

Large-capacity radiator features a large cooling core with protective louvers for maximum cooling efficiency and durability in racing conditions.

Digital Ignition

Specifically tuned for the needs of the YZ125X, the digital CDI ignition system delivers precise spark for faster, stronger response anywhere in the powerband.
