There comes a time in every young motocross
rider’s life when he feels like he’s caught in the
middle. Tbo big for a minibike. Not quite big
enough for a full-size 125.
But if he races Yamahas right from the
start, he’ll never get that in-between feeling.
Because we’ve got a system.
THE YAMAHA SYSTEM.
The heart of our system is the YZ100 you
see pictured here.
When a youngster outgrows his YZ80,
he moves quite naturally to the intermediate-
size YZ100. It’s a good deal longer, wider and
taller than the 80, without going all the way
to 125 dimensions.
Later, when his size and strength increase,
the young rider can graduate to the YZ125.
And at no point along the way will he find
himself sitting on anything less than a gen-
uine racing machine.
THE SHOCKING DIFFERENCE.
The Monoshock rear suspension found on
the YZ100 is a Yamaha exclusive. Its single,
adjustable, nitrogen/oil shock absorber
provides control and response unmatched by
any other system. Rear wheel wobble is
eliminated while wheel travel is increased.
Damping is consistent and, thus, predictable.
Stability and traction are phenomenal.
The oil damped leading axle front forks
deliver 5.5 inches of travel for precise and
stable handling.
SMALL, BUT WIRY.
Reed valve Torque Induction gives the
smaller displacement YZ100 engine loads of
smooth usable power across a wide rpm
range. And it’s as rugged

X’j/ down in the most efficient
way possible, the YZ100
has a quick-shifting, six-speed racing trans-
mission instead of a five-speed. Always the
right gear at the right time.
Heavy-duty polypropylene tank, fenders
and side covers keep weight down. A unique
spring loaded chain tensioner assures a
smooth power transfer. And a
rugged double cradle, tubular steel
frame holds the whole
beautiful package together.
The YZ100 makes the Yimaha System
the surest and most efficient way to start a
winner and stay a winner.
