Our shoes take one
step down.
Some of our best research
comes out of the mailbox. Feedback from racers like you who
tell us their problems.
The frame on the new YZs
for example. At your suggestion,
we made it stronger and lighter.
So there's less chance of stress
fractures.
Serviceability and accessibility have also been improved
in three important areas.
The new, heavy duty air
cleaner can be removed and
cleaned a lot quicker than in the
past The front forks are now
extema1ly adjustable. And, on the
rear suspension, you'll find the
compression damping force
adjuste~ located on the remote
reservou:
All due to your feedback.
So, if you've got any new
ideas or suggestions, let us know.
That way, every time you race,
we can all win.
The harder and
I
faster you can
stop, the harder
and faster you
can go. It's that
simple.
That's why
this yeats
YZ125 has got
some new shoes.
We're using
strong arm
tacfics.
Longer and stronger.
That's the absorbing news on
this year's Monoshock.
The
Double-leading-shoe
front brakes. Just like
the ones that have been
available on the YZ250
and¥Z490.
Double-leading-shoe
front brakes are stronger
and more efficient And
when you've got brakes this
good, nothing can stop you.
On the YZSO, weve strengthened the swing ann by moving it
closer to the rear wheel. And on all
the other YZs, a longer; forged
alurninwn swing ann allows for a
different lever ratio and a shorter
shock stroke. Giving you a sturdier;
more progressive ride in a wider
variety ofterrain.
And heres
8 more.

1. A bigger,more powerful engine
since
tbewheel.
Unlike traditional spokes,
Yamaha's new Z spoke doesn't
stop at the hub. The Zspoke enters
the hub, zigs and exits.
A lighter; stronger one-piece
design that eliminates wheel flex
by taking the stress
off the hubs.
It's also easier to maintain
because, with the stress off the
hubs, loose spokes become almost
nonexistant Even after a tough
day at the race track.
on theYZSO.
2. More front and rear travel on
theYZSO.
3. Improved transmission ratios
on all the YZs.
4. A shorter rear shock stroke
on the YZ125, 250 and 490
decreases weightand improves
handling.
5. A new, 40mm carb on the
YZ490 for greater horsepower.
6. An eight pedal reed valve on
the YZ490 for more efficient
performance.
7. A 3O-day limited warranty on
all the 'YZs. (Your dealer has all
the details.)
8. Because winning is more fun
than losing.
