2017 Yamaha FZ25 Announced for India

2017 Yamaha FZ25 Announced for India While Americans are still waiting for Yamaha to grace our shores with its MT-03/FZ-03, customers in India have another new small-displacement FZ model coming their way. Introduced this week by India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd., the FZ25 is designed specifically for the Indian market as an upgrade over the existing 150cc FZ and FZ-S. Yamaha expects to sell 40,000 units at a price of 119,500 rupees (about $1,755 US), a competitive price for the 250cc segment in India. “The FZ Series performed very well in India and crossed 1.3 million sales since its launch and has developed as a strong brand in the deluxe segment,” says Masaki Asano, managing director of India Yamaha Motor. “Now the deluxe segment customers can step up to a premium model and Yamaha is very happy to offer an option which is armed with more power, impressive new features, sporty look and aggressive styling.” Visually, there’s a familial connection to the FZ-07, especially in the air scoops behind the fork legs and the 10-spoke wheel design. The headlight is an LED unit, which Yamaha claims is a first for a 250cc bike in India. Other features include an LCD instrument cluster, swingarm-mounted mudguard and moderately rear-set footpegs. The FZ25’s engine appears to be based on the 249cc air-cooled Single powering the Yamaha XT250, with the same 74.0 mm bore and 58.0mm stroke. The engine is updated with Yamaha’s Blue Core technology, the company’s development philosophy aimed at improving combustion efficiency, cooling efficiency and a reduction in parasitic power losses. Compared to the XT250’s engine, Yamaha claims more power and torque on the FZ25, claiming peak figures of 20.6 hp at 8000 rpm and 14.8 lb-ft. at 6000 rpm. Fuel consumption is said to top 100 mpg, which would give the FZ25 a range of about 370 miles on a full 3.7 gallon tank. Yamaha says the FZ25 complies with India’s Bharat Stage IV, an emissions standard based on the European model that takes effect in April. The 41mm telescopic fork offers a generous 5.1 inches of travel while the rear shock offers 4.7 inches of give. A two-piston caliper is paired with the 282mm front rotor while a single-piston caliper stops the 220mm rear disc. Both wheels come with tubeless tires. The 2017 Yamaha FZ25 arrives in showrooms across India in February with three choices of colors: Ballistic Blue, Warrior White or Knight Black. 2017 Yamaha FZ25 Specifications Engine type Air cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve Cylinder arrangement Single cylinder Displacement 249cm3 Bore & stroke 74.0×58.0mm Compression ratio 9.8:1 Maximum horse power 20.6 hp at 8000 rpm Maximum torque 14.8 lb-ft. at 6000 rpm Starting system type Electric starter Lubrication system Wet sump Engine oil capacity 1.63 qt Fuel tank capacity 3.7usgal Fuel supply Fuel injection Ignition system type TCI (transistor controlled ignition) Spark plug model DR8EA Battery voltage/capacity 12V, 6.0Ah(10HR) Battery Type ETZ-7 Final drive Chain Primary reduction ratio 3.083 (74/24) Secondary reduction ratio 3.067 (46/15) Clutch type Wet, multiple-disc Transmission type Constant mesh, 5-speed Frame type Diamond Caster angle 24°30′ Trail 3.9 inches Steering Angle Left:37°, Right:37° Front tire size 100/80-17M/C 52P Tubeless Front tire size 140/70-17M/C 66S Tubeless Front wheel size 17M/C × MT2.50 Rear wheel size 17M/C × MT4.00 Front brake Hydraulic single 282mm disc brake Rear brake Hydraulic single 220mm disc brake Front suspension 41mm telescopic fork, 5.1 in. travel Rear suspension Single shock, 4.7 in. travel Headlight bulb type LED Headlight LED Auxiliary light 12V,5W×1 Brake/tail light LED Overall length 79.3 in.
