User Review of SS 125 by B Rauth

1. I had booked the fz-16 back in 2014, but changed my mind & decided on the SS125 as I needed something lighter that my father could ride as well, the showroom re-arranged the paperwork without any issues.
2. It has been a blissful experience riding this motorcycle. I practically learned riding on this bike. I have thrashed it as hard as possible for 7 years & 120000 kms; & it still revs buttery smoothly & there is never any vibration even at 100+ kmph
3. Looks aren't as edgy as today's 125ccs but it's quite decent & it was ahead of its time & still is.
4. Maintaining a yamaha has always been a bit on the expensive side, especially now that it is discontinued. But it doesn't require much maintenance unless you crash & break something. Just change the engine oil & tire etc at regular interval & the gladiator will last a lifetime
5. Pros- crazy fast for 125cc, oodles of torque, very nimble, large fuel tank, engine kill switch(not even the tvs raider has one)
Cons- poor fuel economy, weak headlamps, no trip meters
"the SS125 is a tremendously sporty motorcycle when you are in the mood but otherwise is a gentle creature. The engine is ultra-refined, ride quality is great and in pure no-performance-only-commuting mode, a more peaceful motorcycle will be hard to find."-overdrive

About the Reviewer

It is a good bike, i owned this bike for 10 year and about 50000 km, always done service at regular intervals, this bikes never bothered me, only its rear braking and tyre was not good, i change the tyre as off roading tyre and then it never get punctured in 10 years... I love this bike and feel proud to have it.. Yamaha always gives rugged engine which are tough and need no maintenance in this 125 cc group.. My bikes engine never got opened..

About the Reviewer

The bike is a worst experience, the gear box broke within 10000 km, servicing is also very bad, bike vibrates at low speed & mileage is not satisfactory. spares are costly and not rudely available. engine power is less , seat is hard wastage of money as it requires frequent maintenance for the bike. engine sound pitch is high.

About the Reviewer

Such a wonderful 125cc sporty, stylish and performance bike. I took it for long ride around 1200kms (up & down) it feels fantastic. If you ride this bike around 60 - 70kms on daily commute you will get more than 55kms mileage. In long straight it will surely beats its rivals shine & glamour without doubt. I reached 110kmph as max speed in my bike. Still owns it.

About the Reviewer

The most worst bike i have ever seen. First thing is the seat is not good enough & get pain after driving for a short period. Then the engine is not good & fuel economy is the worst. I have ran for 32300 kms i have done major overhauling of the engine & gearbox twice & the cost of maintenance is very high.

About the Reviewer

All things of this bike is good looks, power, suspension, ride quality, mileage is (55km/lit), still i have this bike with me and i have ride it to 75000 km till now i don't feel any problem in morning start , my major concern was the spare part are costly and not available in market as compare to other bike. I do my bike servicing at 4000 to 5000 km with liquidity 5w40 molygen imported oil from germany and i have done it 7 times engine is still smooth with less noise.I do my bike service at local garages.
