2012 Yamaha Raptor 90 Review
A new Raptor joins the family...
The 2012 Yamaha Raptor 90 features an 88cc air-cooled 4 stroke engine with an adjustable RPM limiter and a fully automatic CVT transmission.
For kids 12 years and older, the Raptor 90 is an excellent machine to start learning on.
Powered by a reliable 88cc air-cooled four-stroke engine coupled to a fully automatic CVT transmission, the Raptor 90 is not only easy to use, but can accommodate various levels of riding ability. And there's an adjustable rev limiter to help you manage their learning curve.
Taking cues from its Raptor brethren, performance and styling help make this entry-level machine the 90cc class best seller.
Other features to help ensure they won't get bored or outgrow this Raptor right away include:
- double wishbone front suspension with 4.4" of travel
- swing-arm rear suspension with 3.3" of travel
- pre-load adjustable shocks
- rear hydraulic disc brake
- dual sealed drum front brakes
- integrated full floorboards
- moulded front grab bar just like the Raptor 700 R

2012 Yamaha Raptor 90 Key Features:
Powered by an 88cc forced air-cooled four-stroke engine for years of clean, quiet and reliable operation.
Easy, push-button electric start in any gear for greater convenience.
Adjustable RPM limiter allows a parent or adult supervisor to match the engine's power output to the rider's skill level.
Fully automatic makes it easier to learn, while the CVT helps ensure engine power is optimized for a wide variety of riding conditions. This allows the entry-level rider to focus on the trail by eliminating a hand-operated clutch.
With 4.4" of suspension travel in the front and pre-load adjustable shocks, the little Raptor 90 is capable and comfortable.
The lightweight rear swingarm suspension also has a pre-load adjustable shock and is designed to help the Raptor 90 stay flat in a corner, while maintaining predictable handling.
Light in weight, a hydraulic disc brake helps provide consistent stopping power, in a variety of riding conditions.
Lightweight and super-reliable chain drive provides an excellent balance between performance and reliability.
Rugged muffler equipped with a USFS-approved spark arrestor for quiet operation.
