All new 90cc Raptor for the kids

Yamaha has released a new model Raptor with plenty of great features aimed to get youngsters on all fours safely. The new-from-the-ground-up Raptor 90 features a new 88cc SOHC wet sump engine mated to a fully automatic CVT transmission. And it comes with the peace-of-mind safety features that you would expect form Yamaha, such as a throttle limiter that allows you to adjust the YFM90R’s acceleration and top speed to suit your kid’s ability level. And a parking brake on the handlebar to keep the new Raptor exactly where they last left it. It’s thinking like this that makes YFM90R the kids’ ATV that adults love too.

Raptor 90 also features dual A-Arm front suspension, rear disc brake, full floorboards and low profile Maxxis tyres. Final drive is by heavy duty 520 chain. Small enough for any 12 year old to handle, but big in features and ability, this electric start ATV has all the ‘use it, forget it, use it again’ low-maintenance convenience that kids (and parents) love so much. Of course, being a Yamaha, as much thought has gone into taking the stress out of your life as packing the YFM90R with great experience-building features. Like the throttle limiter that features a simple plug-in for the CDI unit. Or the emergency kick starter unit stored under the seat for added peace of mind. Shock absorbers are five-way adjustable for preload and there’s a combination of dual drum brakes up front and a powerful disc brake out back. Raptor 90 comes in the classic Yamaha Blue and a unique White version, new for 2010. They’ll be rapt with the new Raptor!
