Debuting in Malaysia is the 2023 Yamaha EZ115 Kapchai priced at RM5,598, replacing the previous Yamaha Lagenda 115Z. Prices are recommended retail prices and do not include road tax, insurance or registration, and all EZ155s come with a two-year or 20,000km warranty against manufacturing defects.
First tested in Malaysia in the form of the Yamaha Sirius, the EZ115 is powered by the same Euro 4 c-compliant 113.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine as the Lagenda. Power output is 9.92 PS at 7,750 rpm and torque is 9.9 Nm at 6,500 rpm.
Braking is done with a single hydraulic disc at the front and a mechanical drum brake at the rear. The suspension uses telescopic forks and twin shocks that can be adjusted for preload to hold the rear end.
New, larger halogen headlamps have been fitted, and the analogue instrument panel displays speed, fuel and gear position, as well as an odometer. Under the seat is a storage compartment with enough capacity to store a single open helmet.
It comes in three color variants – Red, Cyan and Blue. Kits for the EZ115 will be available from this week at authorized Hong Leong Yamaha dealer showrooms.
