2013 Yamaha PW50 Overview

The 2013 Yamaha PW50 is an enduro / off-road motorcycle built around 49 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Single cylinder, two-stroke engine running Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 6.0:1. The bore and stroke measures 40 x 39.2 mm. From a practical standpoint, the 2013 PW50 tips the scales at 39 kg, carries a 200.61-litre fuel tank and offers a seat height of 485 mm. That's roughly 132.3 kg lighter than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2013 Yamaha PW50 spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2013 Yamaha PW50 compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category

Here is how the 2013 Yamaha PW50 stacks up against other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category in our database. Each model counts once, using the model year closest to this one, and the comparison covers up to 1434 models.

  • Seat height of 485 mm is lower than that of every one of the other 1145 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category.
  • None of the other 773 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category has a lighter wet weight than the 39 kg of the PW50.
  • With 49 cc, the PW50 has the joint smallest engine displacement of 1434 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category, 90% below the category average of 486 cc.
  • Narrowing the field to the 511 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 485 mm is lower than that of every one of the other 510.

Versus the 2012 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2012 model: wet weight, displacement and seat height all match.

2013 PW50 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Accessible seat height: At 485 mm, the seat height is approachable for a wide range of rider heights and builds confidence in low-speed manoeuvring.
  • Large fuel range: The 200.61-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.
  • Low-maintenance final drive: Shaft final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.

Considerations

  • Carburetor fuelling: Carbureted engines need occasional jetting attention and can be reluctant in cold weather or at altitude compared to modern fuel-injected alternatives.
  • Drum rear brake: The drum rear brake is adequate but lacks the modulation and fade resistance of a disc setup found on more modern equivalents.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Carburetor maintenance

The PW50 uses carburetion rather than fuel injection, which means jetting is altitude- and temperature-sensitive and benefits from a clean-and-rejet after extended storage or an exhaust change.

Valve clearance checks

Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation on the PW50 means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the PW50 runs Telescopic fork and Unit swingarm at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by shaft - no chain or belt maintenance at all, though the drive-shaft oil should be changed on the manufacturer's interval.

Low-speed handling

At just 39 kg, the PW50 is light enough to manhandle easily at a standstill - one of the practical advantages of its class.

PW50 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2013 Yamaha PW50 with its 49 cc enduro / off-road, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. This model runs shaft final drive, so ask for proof the shaft-drive gear oil has been changed on schedule - it's easy to overlook since there's no chain to draw attention to it. Now 13 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained PW50 should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the PW50's 49 cc single cylinder, two-stroke. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. With a 6.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Carburetor upkeep

Keep the carburetors clean and free of deposits. If the PW50 has been stored, strip and clean the carb float bowls before attempting to start it. Pilot jets are the first to block and the last to be checked - always include them in any carb rebuild.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used PW50. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
