The original YZ250 of 1974 used an air-cooled 250cc two-stroke engine of 70 mm bore and a 64 mm stroke, which was improved semi-annually. The air-cooled motor was replaced in 1982 with a 249 cc liquid-cooled two-stroke reed-valved engine with a mechanical, rather than servo-driven, YPVS exhaust valve for a wider spread of power.
The YZ125 used a conventional telescopic fork tube through 1988, then in 1989, added the first upside-down fork. A number of well known riders have chosen this as their go-to bike, such as AMA Champ Dom Barbuto and his brother Nick Barbuto, X-Games medalist Kyle Ford, and StinkBike Racing's own local Seattle legend Joey Merkin.
The sprocket wheels a, b, and c engage and transport the film. a and b move with uniform velocity and c indexes each frame of the film into place for projection. Sprockets are used in the film transport mechanisms of movie projectors and movie cameras. [5] In this case, the sprocket wheels engage film perforations in the film stock.
Simplified diagram of gear inches: As the rear sprocket is halfed in size, the distance traveled by the rear wheel doubles, at half the torque. Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent ( direct-drive ) gearing.
Portage strap: a strap (usually made of leather) attached to the inside of the bike frame, designed to make carrying the bike over one's shoulder easier; Pulley wheel: see Jockey wheel; Power meter: a device on a bicycle that measures the power output of the rider; Quick release: a skewer with a lever on one end that loosens when the lever is ...
Chainrings (also called "chain rings", [11] "chainwheels" or "sprockets", although sprocket is used this way mostly in the BMX community [3]) engage the chain to transfer power to the (usually rear) wheel. They usually have teeth spaced to engage every link of the chain as it passes over; however, in the past, some designs (called skip-tooth or ...

A chain drive and rear derailleur gear change, the most popular system in use today A shaft-drive with crankset and rear gear hub. Bicycle drivetrain systems are used to transmit power on bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, unicycles, or other human-powered vehicles from the riders to the drive wheels.
