2022 Yamaha XTZ125 Overview
Yamaha XTZ125 is an enduro / off-road motorcycle, displacing 124 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.0:1. Bore and stroke come in at 54 x 54 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 9.9 Nm @ 5500 Revolutions of torque. On the road, the 2022 XTZ125 tips the scales at 118 kg, carries an 11-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 840 mm and spans a 1300 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 51.6 kg lighter than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. The full 2022 Yamaha XTZ125 spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.
2022 Yamaha XTZ125 compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category

2022 XTZ125 - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the single disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Considerations
-
🔧
Carburetor fuelling: Expect to spend more time keeping the carbs in tune, especially after long storage periods or a change in altitude.
-
🛑
Drum rear brake: Rear braking comes from a drum, not a disc - it does the job but won't match the feel or fade resistance of newer equivalents.
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 840 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 11-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Carburetor maintenance
Carburetors on the XTZ125 need periodic attention - pilot jets and float needles are the first parts to gum up after the bike sits, and the first thing to check if idle or throttle response degrades.
Valve clearance checks
With Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve gear, the XTZ125 needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from single disc - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The XTZ125's suspension runs Telescopic forks at the front. The rear uses Swingarm. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The XTZ125 uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Diamond, the XTZ125's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Low-speed handling
118 kg keeps the XTZ125 easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.
XTZ125 - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2022 Yamaha XTZ125 with its 124 cc enduro / off-road, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 4 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy XTZ125 should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the XTZ125's 124 cc single cylinder, four-stroke like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). The sump holds 1.20 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With a 10.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Carburetor upkeep
Deposits in the carbs are the usual culprit behind poor running on a stored XTZ125 - strip and clean the float bowls before the first start. Pilot jets clog first and get overlooked most, so make a point of checking them.
Valve clearance service
Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used XTZ125 since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
