hen Damon Bradshaw . helped design the new YZ250 and YZ125, 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 varying 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.
