The YZ J must be Yamaha's biggest mistake. What an over complicated piece of shit they were. The best thing about them was they only lasted one model. Stories of test riders smashing them with hammers and burying them didn't deter the production engineers who knew better.

Yeah boring them out by .25 does bring em close(r) to 250cc 8)    I agree the 125J would not be on Yamaha's history highlights page.....
