Ever wonder why you see somany
YamahaYZS in front ofyou these days?
Maybe itsbecause ofwhat we put inside ofthem. Ormaybe itsbecause of
whosontop ofthem.Maybe its a little
bit of both.
Startwith the1989 YZl25. Its
engine displacement has been increased
to124.8 cc. A Nikasil-plated cylinder has
ormance anddurabeen added for perf
bility. A new more rigid frame andnew
"works-style" upside-down forks. And
thats justa start About the only thing
that isn't new about the1989 YZl25 is .
the way it wins.
Now lets jump ahead totheYZ250.
Itsnew andimproved like the 125and its
biggerandbadder, too. New upside-down
fork New frame. New Mikuni flatslide
carburetor that dramatically improves
throttle response. New KYB rear shock
andanother new feature: a 19"rear
wheel. All this new isold hat for Yamaha.
Thentheres theYZSO andthe
YZ490 with new improvements, too.
