2016 Kymco DJ 50 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2016 Kymco DJ 50 S scooter motorcycle, Kymco pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.2 HP (2.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.2 Nm (2.4 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.0 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the DJ 50 S measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.96 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 255 km (158 miles) between fill-ups.
