Torque-rich 125cc engine with VVA
The MT-125’s playful 125cc 4-valve liquid cooled engine is equipped with Yamaha’s
exclusive Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system that features two intake cams.
This exclusive R125-derived technology enables the high-tech engine to deliver
outstanding top-end performance together with plenty of torque at lower engine
speeds, making the MT-125 one of the strongest performers in the category.
TheMT-125’s engine is equipped with an assist and slipper (A&S) clutch with a
super-light feeling at the lever that gives easy gear changing. As well as
requiring less physical input from the rider, the A&S clutch makes
downshifts even smoother and helps to prevent rear wheel lock ups – giving you
greater control of your MT.
