Q:How to know if your Yamaha 125Z is really 1st model if you bought it secondhand?
A: There are some things that can be look for:
1.The year of Yamaha 125Z 1st model is 1999-2001. This can be checked from the JPJ grant.
2. The block is Y1.
3. The CDI carries the Yamaha tuning fork logo.
4. The meter is much heavier (110km/h on 1st model is equal to 140km/h on the rest of 125Z model).
5. The maximum speed is 180km/h without any modification.
It is said that 1st model 125Z is just a mass prototype to test the market for this kind of bike by Yamaha. After the initial release, it is found that this bike is very light and very fast. This can be seen by the application of two-piston caliper for the rear and front brakes. I guess the drum brakes just won’t do the job well. What Yamaha did next for the second model is to limit the speed of the bike to 150km/h only. The CDI also have been vendored to third-party company, hence no more Yamaha tuning fork logo on it.
This is as far as I know about Yamaha 125Z 1st model, if you know more, share it with us if you care. If not, just keep reading and complaining about this blog and any other blogs.
