2026 Yamaha YZ85LW Base

Information

2026 Yamaha YZ85LW

Always go big! The YZ85 power and fun, combined with a large wheel package, allowing riders to bridge the gap to the next class. Featuring the Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS), fully-adjustable suspension, six-speed transmission and adjustable ergonomics, the YZ85LW is ready to win races straight off the dealership floor.

Features may include:

Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS).
  • Mechanical power valve system delivers effective exhaust timing throughout the entire rev range
  • Provides excellent power and torque characteristics
  • Boosts compression ratio and power output
  • Delivers responsive acceleration just as the rider intends
  • Slit-shaped valve on the side of the exhaust port operates in response to engine rpm
  • In low-to-mid-rpm range when exhaust timing is slower, valve moves to cover the top part of the exhaust port
  • In high rpm range when quick exhaust timing is needed, valve recedes and exhaust port is fully uncovered
  • Shifting is reduced due to broad powerband
Lightweight, forged piston.
  • less reciprocating mass and less friction for a faster revving engine
  • excellent durability
CDI ignition system.
  • provides a hot, precise spark for fast sure starts
  • provides optimal timing for quicker, stronger response at all rpms
  • maintenance-free
Rigid, semi-double cradle, single backbone, steel frame.
  • blend of light weight and good strength
  • minimal flex for razor-sharp, moto-wining handling
Detachable rear subframe.
  • allows easy access for suspension maintenance
  • reduces costs in the event of a loop-out (subframe can be purchased separately)
Fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension provides 282 mm (11.1 in) of wheel travel.
  • Kayaba piggyback shock reduces shock temperatures during a long moto for fade resistant damping and consistent performance.
  • adjustments include "threaded" spring preload, 15 clicks of compression and 20 clicks of rebound damping
  • optional shock springs are available through Yamaha Genuine Parts and Accessories
