2017 Yamaha Jupiter MX King 150 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Yamaha Jupiter MX King 150 scooter motorcycle, Yamaha features a 155 cc (9.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.2 HP (11.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.8 Nm (10.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 98.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Jupiter MX King 150 measures 116 kg (256 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 765 mm (30.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,240 mm (48.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.2-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
