Yamaha expands MX-V EFI series engine lineup

KENESSAW, Ga. – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA’s Outdoor Power Equipment division, recently expanded the MX-V EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) series engine lineup for the lawn and garden market with the all-new MX825V-EFI E-Throttle.

The all-new engine, unveiled at GIE+EXPO in Louisville, gives customers more options than previous Yamaha models to optimize performance for zero-turn lawn mowers.

Yamaha first unveiled the MX-V series at the 2016 GIE+EXPO, with carbureted models joining the lineup the following year.

“For the last three years, our MX-V series engines have delivered industry-leading performance to the growing lawn and garden market,” said Kevin Reed, Yamaha’s Power Products division senior manager. “With the all-new MX825V-EFI E-Throttle, Yamaha continues to deliver advanced technology and modern components in state-of-the-art equipment and unmatched performance for the segment.”

The MX825V EFI E-Throttle improves fuel efficiency and increases performance for more productivity. With E-Throttle technology, the vertical v-twin engine delivers more usable power, allowing the engine to provide more consistent blade speeds for a smooth, even cut in a wide variety of grass conditions and terrain. The electric throttle improves reliability and reduces maintenance while enhanced diagnostic capabilities make for easier troubleshooting.

The E-Throttle technology provides built-in engine protection for conditions that cause potential engine damage and a “safe mode” to allow the operator to move the mower under reduced power. The MX825V-EFI E-Throttle also comes equipped with standard features including the proven Delphi EFI System, industry standard air filtration, ball bearings supported Power Take-Off and Yamaha’s Three-Year Limited Warranty.

The MX825V-EFI E-Throttle engine will be available for OEM production late 2020. Learn more about the full lineup of MX-V series engines at the Yamaha website.
