damascase Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Just wondering whether anyone here has experience with the Yamaha Exciter? I am interested in it because it seems, to me, a good compromise between a motorbike and a scooter. Until recently it had a 150cc engine (with manual clutch and 6-speed gearbox), but the 2021 model has the latest 155 engine with variable valve timing, and 17.7 hp. 121 kg wet, 17” wheels. i walked into a Yamaha dealership today and they offered me the 2020 model. When I said I was interested in the 2021 model with the 155 engine they appeared - or pretended to be - unaware of the new model.

jackdd Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't think it's bad, but it's not my type of bike. It doesn't have the advantage of the auto clutch like for example a Honda Wave, and doesn't look as good as a "normal" motorbike. The 2021 model hasn't been released in Thailand yet, everything I find online seems to be from Vietnam. Usually the dealers don't get any information in advance, they only know about them when they are officially released in Thailand (applies to all brands).

Damrongsak Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Apparently it will get the same engine as the XSR155 , MT-15, and R15,though detuned a tad. Edited March 6, 2021 by Damrongsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice peppy bike, for the price. This bike never sold well here. Disadvantages: -- smallish under-seat tank, , -- lacks under-seat storage. -- front forks adequate, not robust USD forks as 3 above. Same price would buy nice 2nd-hand CB150 w/ABS. Best in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The new Exciter has a 5.4-litre tank. Old one is 4.2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) I'm outside of Thailand waiting for my 2nd jab plus a bit more relaxing of Thai entry regulations. I thought I'd buy a good chain for my 4 year old Yamaha Exciter. I'm pretty sure it's a 428 size but I can't find anywhere the number of links. Would someone know the length? Thanks Edited June 8, 2021 by drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
