India Yamaha Motor today entered the 125 cc automatic scooter segment with the launch of the Yamaha Fascino 125 FI. The new model is BS-VI compliant and replaces the BS-IV Yamaha Fascino 110 cc scooter.
The Yamaha Fascino 125 FI is powered by a 125 cc air-cooled, fuel-injected mill. This powerplant produces 8.2 PS of power and 9.7 Nm of torque. India Yamaha Motor claims that the Fascino 125 weighs just 99 kg, which is at least 4 kg lighter than any Yamaha scooter retailed in India so far. Also, the new model features a Stop and Start system, which essentially switches off the ignition when the scooter comes to a standstill, say at a traffic light. The engine can be restarted by simply accelerating the scooter.
The Yamaha Fascino 125 FI features a Smart Motor Generator (SMG), a technology similar to the ACG starter motor of the Honda Activa 125 BS-VI. SMG allows a quieter start. Besides that, Yamaha has also fitted the Fascino 125 FI with a side stand engine cut-off switch. The fuel economy rating of the Yamaha Fascino 125 FI BS-VI is 58 km/l.
The Yamaha Fascino 125 FI's suspension setup includes conventional telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Its braking system includes drum brakes at both ends or a combination of a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.
