Overview

The Yamaha Zuma 125 is a scooter in production from 2009 through 2026. For 2026, it has a 125 cm³, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 8.6 hp (6.4 kW), with a wet weight of 127.9 kg.

Its automatic transmission and dry centrifugal clutch handle gear changes without rider input, while the belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment. The 785 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down; hydraulic disc brakes at both ends provide braking at the front and rear.
