Engineered by Yamaha for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2017 Yamaha YFM90R pairs a 88 cc (5.4 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 47.0 x 51.0 mm (1.9 x 2.0 inches) with a 10.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the YFM90R measures 120 kg (265 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 654 mm (25.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,010 mm (39.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.8-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
