All of these debates about the 80 motors are getting a little old. I think looking at the dynos of each 80 should help show which are good for low-end (mainly KX and RM because of powervalves) and which are strong mid and up. These dyno charts are from the FMF site - www.fmfracing.com

The blue line is the stock pipe/silencer and the red line is with the FMF REV pipe and silencer.

So... just based on the FMF dyno charts ONLY, here are some raw numbers:

Most HP at:

6k RPMs - RM/KX/YZ (5 HP)
7k RPMs - RM/KX/CR (6 HP)
8k RPMs - KX (11 HP)
9k RPMs - YZ (15 HP)
10k RPMs - YZ (18 HP)
11k RPMs - RM/KX/CR (19 HP)
12k RPMs - CR (18 RPMs)

Least HP at:

6k - CR (4 HP)
7k - YZ (5 HP)
8k - CR (6 HP)
9k - CR (12 HP)
10k - CR/KX (16 HP)
11k - YZ (18 HP)
12k - YZ (12 HP)

Greatest Peak HP - RM/KX/CR all 19 HP @ 11,000 RPMs

So just some numbers to throw out there. :confused:

Interesting but not really applicable to any thing but the Honda.
All the Dyno runs are on 80s, Kaw beefed up their engine up to 85cc two years ago and the RMs and YZs went to 85cc this year so all this data is presumably from the 2000 models or at the latest the 2001s on the RMs and YZs.
This is the reason I won't buy a pipe for a new mini, they obviously do not do any research on the minis the year they come out so it is quite possible the stock pipe is as good or better than the after market.

sounds like nikki knows what she's talkin about hehe most girls dont even know what a frickin spark plug is :) i had a 99 yz80 it was a good bike it just lacxked alot of low-end power but top end overrev, outstanding, the bike had to be revved out alot and the clutch had to be fanned alot to keep the rpm's up

2 cc's arent going to make any difference whatsoever!

First that is not true, but assuming you meant "any APPRCIABLE difference whatsoever" with no other changes you may be correct, but with both Yamaha and Suzuki making porting and pipe changes along with the 2cc's my statement stands as dyno runs on 2000 80cc machines may very well have little relation to 2002 85 actually figures.

Also what year did Kaw add the power-valve to the mini, 'cause that KX80 graph looks a lot like a non-power-valve profile.

The rules for the 80 class have always been 85cc (to allow for boring cast liners in the olden days), and the bikes have been 83cc since the nikasil liners stock. Our '01 YZ80 is 82.9cc. The 85 bit is all PR.

Nikki, I think the only chart that is valid is the cr80 one.
okkx'er, the yz80 and the yz85 are very different motors:

ALL New for 2002!

Engine:

The industry’s mightiest mini gets an all-new lightweight, liquid-cooled two-stroke engine’s capacity increased from 83 to 85cc (bore x stroke = 47.5 x 47.8mm) to deliver even harder-hitting, moto-winning power throughout the RPM range.
Crankcase features reshaped scavenging port for reduced horsepower loss and improved mid-range and top-end output.
Crankcase reed valve induction and 28mm Keihin flat-slide carburetor ensures seamless throttle response across the powerband, while all-new, aluminum carb body helps reduce weight.
New-design digital CD ignition system puts out a more precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing for quicker, stronger response during hard acceleration.
Smooth-shifting, 6-speed transmission features new-design main and drive axles, while all-new, heavy-duty, multi-plate clutch delivers maximum hook-up for outstanding acceleration and corner-exiting power.
All-new, involute spline set-up in clutch means smoother shifting under power with greater durability at competition-level usage.
All-new clutch cover features a sub-cover for easy access during maintenance.
Gearbox features a new-design shift shaft for smoother shifting feel with no spring friction.
All-new, lightweight radiator has larger cores and more louvers, while retooled water pump features a cast aluminum (vs. resin) impeller to ensure maximum cooling efficiency — and minimal horsepower loss.
New, lightweight exhaust system design with a reshaped tapered section helps create a broader powerband with stronger low-end punch.
New airbox design with reshaped filter ensures greater air cleaning performance and easier maintenance.
Primary kickstarting features a reshaped lever with a sealed pivot to keep out water and mud, enhancing durability.

No, way, the yz85 is the same engine as the yz80 except for a .8mm larger bor and .7mm larger stroke. 2 ccs isnt anything.They did no porting changes

Yamaha said they changed the porting for 2002, unless you have proof otherwise I have to believe the porting was changed. And what I know is YZ85 has much more low end and significantly different power delivery than the 2001 YZ80. I doubt if this would be possible without changing the pipe and/or porting.

No, it was my post that said there were porting changes. But for the skeptics:

That’s right — the mightiest mini on the planet is not only all-new, but more powerful to boot, starting with a completely new liquid-cooled, 85cc, crankcase reed-inducted, two-stroke single boasting reshaped scavenging porting for greater mid-range and top-end hit. Now add a bigger- bore 28mm Keihin flat-slide carb and all-new digital CD ignition to ensure right-now throttle response and ultra-precise spark across the RPM range.

That came from here: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/products.asp?lid=2&lc=mcy&rdir=1

click on compitition/off road, then YZ85.
