What Buyers Should Know
Blue Core Engine Tech
The Ray ZR 125 uses Yamaha's Blue Core engine technology, delivering a claimed fuel efficiency of around 50-55 km/l. This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc scooters in its segment.
Watch the Belt Drive
The CVT belt and rollers are known wear items — inspect them every 20,000–25,000 km to avoid sudden power loss or jerky acceleration. Replacement is affordable but commonly overlooked by owners.
Strong Resale Value
The Ray ZR 125 holds resale value well due to Yamaha's trusted brand reputation and steady demand in the used scooter market. A well-maintained unit typically retains 60–70% of its value after 2–3 years.
