Technical Overview
2007 Yamaha Black Max ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2007 Yamaha Black Max ABS scooter motorcycle, Yamaha relies on a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42.9 HP (31.3 kW) while maximum torque reaches 45 Nm (33.2 lb-ft) at 4,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Black Max ABS measures 213 kg (470 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.97 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
