2012 Yamaha Jog ZR Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2012 Yamaha Jog ZR scooter motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.4 HP (2.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.9 Nm (2.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 38.0 x 43.5 mm (1.5 x 1.7 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Jog ZR measures 83 kg (183 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 725 mm (28.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,160 mm (45.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.4-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.52 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 289 km (180 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).
