A great info to wrap up your day with this launch of Yamaha Ego S YMJET_FI (image credit to Syarikat Chong Motorcycles Sdn Bhd (SCM)). Yes, that is FI that refers to Fuel Injection system. Recently, HLYM also introduced the Lagenda 115Z/ZR that is also powered by the FI system and now the FI family is expanding with this Ego S YMJET_FI along with the FZ150i. It is finally here, the era of fuel injection system for bikes under 150cc, which has been started with the Yamaha FZ150i, that remains in Malaysia’s history as the first bike under 150cc ever to be equipped with FI in Malaysia. There are four colours to choose for that blue, red, black and white. All of the bike gets a nicely designed simple livery with great body lines that exudes style. For a bike this advance, the price is stated at RM4,918 (basic price) which is a good price considering the lowest price AT scooter right now is priced at RM4,218.

The engine is equipped with 113.7cc cylinder and it push out 8.02PS (5.98kW) at 8,500RPM with 7.53Nm at 5,000RPM. It is a long stroke engine with the bore and stroke dimension at 50.0mm x 57.9mm which delivers the maximum torque in low-mid RPM range. The front brake is 1-piston caliper disc brake with rear drum brake setup. Ego S has proven to be the most popular scooter in its category and the parts are available easily anywhere in Malaysia, even at the small shop in kampong which shows its popularity across regions and hopefully this Ego S YMJET_FI will be as popular as that too.

Riders in Indonesia have enjoyed this bike earlier with its introduction in April 2012 named Mio Soul GT. That is about 16 month ago, but it is a good thing to know that it is here for us to ride it. If you compare the bike, there is a slight differences in the area of the headlight but retains the same shape on the handle cover.

2014 Yamaha Ego S YMJET_FI price is RM4,918 (basic price). The scooter will be available in the market starting next week (23/12/2013).
