2023 Yamaha Fascino, Ray ZR updated with new BS-VI Stage-II emission norms: Here are the changes

Apart from compliance with BS-VI stage-II emission norms, the Yamaha Fascino and Ray ZR ranges will also come with new color options.

• The 125cc engine of Yamaha Fascino and Ray ZR range will continue to produce 8.2 PS and 10.3 Nm.
• The new OBD system for BS-VI stage-II compliance is expected to make the engine feel smoother.
• Expect no other changes to the design and features list for both scooters.

After updating its motorcycle range with BS-VI stage-II emission norms, Yamaha is all set to introduce the same update for its scooter range, which includes Fascino and Ray ZR models. Both the 125cc scooters from Yamaha will now come equipped with an onboard diagnostics (OBD) system for tracking real-time emission levels.

What are the changes in the new Yamaha Fascino, Yamaha Ray ZR?

A leaked type-approval document from ICAT shows that the Yamaha Fascino (Standard and S variants) and Yamaha Ray ZR (Standard and Street Rally variants) are now compliant with Bharat Stage-VI stage-II emission norms.

All the variants of these scooters now come with an OBD system (as mentioned above) as the only add-on under this new revision. Yamaha will also introduce a few new color options for both the scooters, just like it did for its range of motorcycles a few days ago.
