About the Yezdi Roadking

Overview

The Yezdi Roadking is a motorcycle from Yezdi. It was launched in 1978 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 1996). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 250 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 250 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 16 Bhp at 5,000 rpm and 2.43 Kgm of torque at 4,250 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 4,250 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its bore is wider than its stroke (70 mm x 64 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 121 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 120 km/h. It has kick start only.

Gearbox

It has a 4-speed manual gearbox.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a single frame made with square tubes frame. Suspension is by telescopic - hydraulic, 130 mm travel forks at the front and hydraulic shock absorbers, 100 mm travel at the rear. It rides on 16-inch spoke wheels, 3.25 x 16 at both ends.

Size, comfort and range

It weighs 134 kg ready to ride. It is 2,000 mm long, with 1,350 mm between the axles. It carries 16 L of fuel.

Yezdi Roadking specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
