2-Cylinder Genesis® 4-stroke Sport Performance engine
Lightweight yet torquey, for quick acceleration, the Genesis® engine is the ultra reliable and economical heart of the Venture Lite. Fuel injection and digital ignition systems ensure consistent peak performance, while the counterbalanced lightweight crankshaft aids instant throttle response and smooth running.
ProComfort® 144 rear suspension with KYB® gas cell shocks
ProComfort® rear suspension is easily adjusted for one or two riders. A simple flip lever sets the torsion spring rate and a pair of KYB® gas cell shocks delivers a consistently smooth ride. The suspension also features a tri-cam preload adjuster and adjustable control rod.
Ultra-light, ultra-rigid FX chassis
The Venture Lite is built on the FX chassis, which has a lightweight, rigid CF Die-Cast member and chromoly tube construction. The FX chassis and the Genesis® 4-stroke Sport Performance engine add up to an extremely balanced package. This is also the backbone for the sporty rider-forward position.
Camoplast® Ripsaw™ track
Across the industry, the Camoplast® Ripsaw™ is acclaimed as the best all-around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and everyday trail usage. The Ripsaw™ track is the result of a collaborative effort between Yamaha and Camoplast®.
Double wishbone front suspension
The front suspension, specially engineered for the Venture Lite, is designed to accommodate its particular weight distribution and handling needs. Due to its unique front-end design, the A-arms are longer than usual and the Venture Lite also features lightweight extruded aluminum spindles.
Comfort and convenience
The Venture Lite has a wide, plush seat for both driver and passenger and the passenger seat is removable for added storage. The driver's hand and thumb warmers use a rocker button that gives you complete control over the temperature settings, while the passenger grip warmers are controlled by an on/off switch.
Multi-function digital instrument panel
All essential ride data is displayed on a fully-featured digital gauge, displaying speed, RPM, grip heater level, dual trip meters and a clock. In addition, an oil trip readout tells you when it's time for an oil change, while a fuel trip readout displays kilometres covered since the fuel warning light came on.
Large, protective windshield
For additional comfort on long rides, the tall windshield features a deflector lip that protects both rider and passenger from wind and snow. Securely affixed to the chassis, this tough screen offers consistent protection in all conditions.
