2012 Yamaha Raptor 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2012 Yamaha Raptor 125 atv motorcycle, Yamaha utilizes a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.0 mm (2.1 x 2.1 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Raptor 125 measures 135.6 kg (299 lbs) wet (curb).

The 9.08-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
