The Yamaha FZ Rave is a motorcycle from Yamaha. It is currently on sale. With a 149 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.
Power comes from a 149 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 12.2 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 91 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. It has electric start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 4-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a diamond frame. Suspension is by telescopic fork at the front and swingarm at the rear. Braking is by a 282 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with single-channel ABS. Single-channel ABS works on the front wheel, which does most of the stopping. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 100/80 - 17 at the front and 140/60R - 17 at the rear.
The seat is 790 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 136 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 165 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 1,990 mm long, with 1,330 mm between the axles. It carries 13 L of fuel.
Equipment includes LCD Display, an LED projector headlamp, gear position indicator, service due indicator, centre stand, engine temperature indicator and low fuel indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning and malfunction indicator.
