2018 Yamaha Zuma 125

The Zuma 125 includes great off-road-inspired styling, huge fuel economy, powerful rear brake, plush suspension and tons of storage.

• Engine

Zuma 125’s fuel-injected, 125cc single cylinder, 4-stroke engine pumps out lots of power for its size, using an SOHC 4-valve head with 10:1 compression ratio and ceramic-composite cylinder plating. Fuel injection provides the optimal fuel mixture for varying conditions, and that means easy cold starts, too.

Pushbutton electric starting makes the Zuma 125 super-convenient for transportation.

For reliability and easy maintenance, simple wet-sump lubrication is used. Forced air cooling system helps keep engine temperatures under control, even while idling at stoplights, for maximum efficiency and longer engine life.

• Chassis/Suspension

Robust steel-tube frame is light but strong, and features a step-through design for easy mounting. A two-stage electrostatic painting process provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish.

Telescopic fork features beefy outer tubes for strength, while fork boots help protect the large 33mm inner tubes from debris. The swingarm features twin rear shocks with a full 3.1 in of travel for riding comfort on the street and unpaved roads, too.

Fuel tank holds 1.7 gallons for plenty of cruising range. Fuel tank emissions system includes a charcoal canister to control gasoline evaporation and reduce air pollution.

Additional

Two bright halogen headlights light the way, with the sculpted bodywork smoothly wrapping around the aggressive lighting design.

The underseat storage compartment’s cavernous 7.7-gallon capacity is roomy enough for a full-face helmet, while a cup holder and fold-out cargo hook on the dash makes it easy to bring it all with you.

The Zuma 125’s stylish LCD meter features a fuel gauge as well as a full range of indicator lights.
