The Yamaha Factory Motocross Team
competes in scores of grueling professional
championship races all over the world.
And every time we race, you win.
Because every time we race, we learn
something. About engines, transmissions,
suspension, frame geometry, brakes, cables,
nuts and bolts. And how to make them better.
The 1978 Yamaha YZ’s are better than
ever. In fact, they’re as close as you can get
to a factory ride.
Every feature that sets these remarkable
machines apart was tested and proven by
Sunday drivers like Heikki Mikkola, Bob
Hannah, Broc Glover, Mike Bell and Rick
Burgett.
Our exclusive Monoshock rear suspen-
sion system is a prime example. Long wheel
travel, consistent damping, full adjustability,
extraordinary stability and traction are
the proven benefits of Monoshock. So all our
YZ’s have it. From the 400
right on down to the 80.
They also have /
adjustable, leading axle front forks. So, front
and rear, you can custom tune your YZ to the
way you ride and the surface you ride on.
The YZ engine is a masterpiece of race-
bred performance. Its exclusive reed valve
Torque Induction System not only prevents
carburetor blowback, but makes our YZ’s
quicker and stronger across a wide power-
band. That means more holeshots, better
maneuverability, improved passing.
And, for 1978, the whole beautiful pack-
age is held together by a new chrome moly
frame (except the 80 and 100) that’s con-
siderably stronger than conventional steel.
It’s considerably lighter, too, making the
YZ’s heavy favorites to win.
So, whether you race for fun or fame, go
to your Yamaha Dealer and get yourself on
an exciting Yamaha YZ.
And have a nice weekend.

This lighter, stronger aluminum
string arm is usually found
only on very expensive works
bikes. It’s standard equipment
on full-size YZ’s. A unique spring-
loaded chain tensioner gives you a
smoother power transfer and saves
wear on sprocket and chain.
