PW 80

Built for younger riders, the PW80 is powered by a 79cc, 2-stroke engine. A smooth-shifting, 3-speed transmission with automatic clutch (designed to ease the beginner into the basics of shifting) helps make riding simpler. Electronic CD ignition produces a hot, reliable spark and is virtually maintenance-free. Autolube oil injection system eliminates the need to premix fuel and oil. An adjustable, handlebar-mounted throttle limiter allows parents or adult supervisors to gradually increase power output as child's skill level improves. Class-lowest 25" seat height creates a handling-enhancing low center-of-gravity and allows most smaller riders to put both feet down for added confidence. Class-leading lightweight at 126 pounds means quick, responsive steering and greater maneuverability.

Engine:

  • Air-cooled, 79cc, case reed-inducted, 2-stroke engine delivers potent yet predictable power with smooth, torquey low-end performance.
  • Smooth-shifting, 3-speed transmission with class-exclusive automatic clutch is easy to use and introduces new riders to the basics of shifting.
  • Electronic CD ignition produces a hot, reliable spark and is virtually maintenance-free.
  • Exclusive Autolube Oil Injection System eliminates need to premix fuel and oil.
  • Large heat shields on both the engine and exhaust protect against accidental contact burns.
  • Adjustable, handlebar-mounted throttle limiter allows parents or adult supervisors to gradually increase power output as child's skill level improves.

Chassis/Suspension:

  • Class-lowest seat height (25") creates a handling-enhancing low center of gravity and allows most riders to put both feet down for added confidence.
  • Telescopic front fork with 4.3" of travel for confidence-inspiring control over rough terrain.
  • Single rear shock with 3.7" of travel delivers progressive suspension performance to smooth out rugged trails.
  • Class-leading bight weight at 126 pounds means quick, responsive steering and greater maneuverability.
  • Full-size knobby tires offer excellent grip and long life.
  • Front and rear drum brakes are powerful and lightweight.
  • Plush, YZ-style seat designed to provide easy rider movement for enhanced maneuverability.
  • Large front and rear plastic fenders are extremely durable.
  • Team Yamaha-inspired colors, graphics, and front and side number plates create styling similar to larger YZ lineup.
  • Large, folding footpegs with rubber grips provide excellent footing even in wet or muddy conditions.
  • Premium-quality handgrips and levers are durable and comfortable.
