Yamaha’s Blue Core 125cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke.The single-cylinder engine delivers excellent fuel efficiency and significant power for its compact size.
Using a SOHC 4-valve head with an 11.2:1 compression ratio. A DiASil cylinder and an aluminium alloy forged piston. The fuel injection provides the optimal fuel mixture for varying conditions, including easy cold starts.
Chassis/Suspension

Meanwhile, the passenger gets dedicated foldable footrests and secure handholds that blend cleanly into the Zuma 125’s body design.
The telescopic fork features beefy outer tubes for strength. While fork boots help protect the large 33mm inner tubes from debris.
The rear wheel swingarm features twin rear shocks with a full 3.1 in travel for comfortable riding on streets and unpaved roads.
