Raptor 125

Make: Yamaha
Model: YFM125R
Year: Current
Yamaha’s Raptor YFM125R is designed to offer entry level riders a full sports experience thanks to an air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single-cylinder 124cc engine that is tuned to give even, usable torque across the entire speed range for the kind of “ease of use” that good drivability provides.
Unlike pseudo sports ATVs that feature automatic transmission and reverse gear that don’t contribute directly to the sport riding experience, the Raptor 125 runs a sweet shifting five speed manual gearbox with traditional hand operated clutch setup.
The power unit is mounted in a lightweight steel frame that is characterised by an excellent balance of rigidity and strength. Also featuring a double wishbone type front suspension and Monocross rear suspension, this model adopts components throughout its chassis that provide the performance for entry-level sport riding.
Raptor 125 is engineered throughout for reduced weight and low centre of gravity to ensure riders can enjoy the sport riding experience.
Designed with the basic performance features of a sport ATV, the Raptor 125 is a key model in Yamaha Motor’s product strategy of providing a step-up link between the youth-oriented models and the higher-spec all-round sport models of the Raptor series, and on to the pure sport YFZ series models.
FEATURES
4-stroke engine tailored for ATV riding fun
The power unit is an air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single-cylinder 124cc engine characterised by its deep torque in the low-speed range and linear torque development across the entire rpm range. With bore x stroke of 54 mm ×54 mm and a compression ratio of 10:1, the engine reaches maximum output at 8000 r/min and maximum torque at 6500 r/min.
Large capacity air cleaner and negative pressure carburettor improves throttle response
A large capacity (five litre) air cleaner feeds a negative pressure type 29mm diameter BSR carburettor to ensure a sufficient supply of air/fuel mix to the engine. This carburettor contributes to smoother start-ups, good low-speed control, strong high-speed performance and excellent acceleration. It has the same diameter as the carburettor of the Raptor 250 with the internal slide valve range specially set for the 125cc engine to ensure a fast inflow of mixture.
High tensile steel frame
The frame on this model is designed with the simplicity, lightness and the right balance of rigidity and strength to enable full enjoyment of the 125cc engine’s power. The 28mm diameter main pipes of this frame are of high tensile strength steel. A total of 52 parts, including these main pipes, brackets made of plate metal and other pipe parts are welded together to form a single unit.
Wide 19-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) tyres
In order to help bring out the full power of the 125cc engine, AT19 × 9-10 front and AT18 × 9-8 rear inner tube tyres are adopted. These tyres provide plenty of cushioning capacity, grip performance, wear resistance and slide characteristics (rear). Wheel rims are slim, hard wearing steel.
