Continued from preceding page redesigned pipe and silencer setups for better exhaust tuning. Other power tweaks include a digital COl on the 250 and redesigned shift forks in both trannies. - New frame this year-geometry and everything. Compared to last year, some parts got moved around-some got lighter-and some are just downright gone. The seat and tank are flatter and narrower so riders can move around even quicker and easier. - There's new lighter swingarms- delivering ultra precision from about the beefiest hunk of aluminum you're ever going to find. The' shock has a new leverage ratio that.makes the rear suspension a tad firmer in the first couple inches of travel-the hot ticket for better traction and a more precise ride. The front forks got buffed with fatter 46mm inner tubes, bigger axles and a set of double-bolt pinch clamps on both legs. - The whole package handles totally neutral-the new YZ goes where you point it and flicks when you snap it. - New brakes too-with new pad material and a new front master cylinder. There's a shorter front brake lever, a totally new brake pedal and new lever ratios front and rear.. Now you can one-inger/one-toe your way into a corner, brake later, harder and get more positive feedback. Other stuff added just because everything else was much better: new throttle, grips, tank cap, rear sprocket, a recessed shifter pedal ~ bolt and simplified radiator hose routing. - The YZ125 and YZ250. Sure, last year's bikes were bitchenbut the new ones kick their butts. Easy. See The nevv '96 YZ rnc>c:Jels crt 'these pClrlic::ipClTing YClrnClhCl DeCllers.
