TOP FEATURES

Potent 65cc Motocrosser

Built to win"”just like its bigger YZ siblings"”the compact YZ65 is ready to tackle the track right out of the gate featuring Yamaha's world-renowned off-road performance, quality and durability.

The 65cc two-stroke engine features the legendary Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™), a mechanical power valve system that delivers a broad spread of power and torque across the entire rpm range.

Adjustable Chassis

With a strong steel frame and adjustable front and rear suspension, the YZ65 offers riders the traction, confidence and tunability of full-size motocross machines in a compact package.

The 65cc two-stroke powerplant features the same advanced technologies found in Yamaha's 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.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Both front and rear suspension systems are tunable for both rebound and compression damping.
