hen Damon Bradshaw helped design the new YZ250 and Yl125. he only asked for three things: make them faster on the straightaways, stronger out of the corners and smoother over the whoops. He got it all. 0 Both engines have more power. thanks to new. high velocity cylinder porting and new. power valve shapes. plus refined head dome designs and a radical new exhaust pipe that utilizies sonic waves to boost horsepower. 0 Since they're putting out more muscle, both are equipped with larger radiators for consistent temperatures at racing speeds. Plus there's a bigger airbox. with a unique under-seat intake duct, to feed the engine big gulps of cool. fresh oxygen. 0 The new frames have almost 50% more rigidity, yet still maintain their ultra light weight. And a new Deltabox swingarm, along with a new advanced shock linkage system, improve both handling and ground clearance. especially on whoop-infested tracks. 0 Since the YZ250 and YZ125 have more performance, the suspension was also refined. The front forks have new valving for quicker response and a smoother ride. And the rear shock's adjustment settings are more responsive and more noticable, so you can fine-tune the suspension quicker and easier. 0 The whole machine is slimmer• . faster and smoother. 0 The new YZ250 and 125. They're faster, stronger and tougher. Just what Damon asked for. 0 See the 1993 Yamaha .vZls at these Participating Dealers GAINESVILLE GA ALBANY OTTAWA WHITE PLAINS W.
