Yamaha FZ v3 Launched in Nepal: An Affordable BS6-Compliant FZ!

Yamaha FZ FI v3 BS6 is officially available in Nepal for 2024.

MAW Enterprises, the authorized distributor of Yamaha motorcycles in Nepal, now offers the affordable version of its most muscular 150cc FZ bike with the Yamaha FZ v3.

Yamaha FZ v3 introduces the familiar FZ v3 styling with minor changes.

There are two versions in the FZ lineup: FZ and FZS. Both are mechanically similar, but FZ gets a slight reduction in terms of features.

Firstly, it misses out on the Yamaha X-Connect Features. More importantly, it only features a Standard Dual-Disc Braking without any Single-Channel ABS!

What is the price of the Yamaha FZ V3 in Nepal?

Yamaha FZ FI v3 BS6 2024 price in Nepal is Rs. 3.79 Lakhs.

FZ v3 was previously available in limited quantities. However, that featured a BS4-complaint engine.

Now, it meets the BS6 norms and is officially available across Nepal. Unfortunately, this version misses out on the Single-Channel ABS, which feels like a step back.

With that said, let’s take a quick look at the Yamaha FZ v3 BS6 in Nepal along with its key specifications in 2024.

Yamaha FZ v3 Overview

Design

Yamaha FZ v3 sports a familiar muscular styling.

It features all of the hallmarks of a premium naked sport, including a large sculpted fuel tank.

The front section comes with an LED headlamp with Halogen indicators at the side.

Yamaha has introduced elements for a fresher appearance. It includes Body-Colored Side Panels and new Single-Tone Color options.

In contrast to the FZS v3, the FZ v3 does not have Chormed Accents on the Tank Shrouds.

Adding all that, the side profile maintains a commanding presence.

The rear tail still comes with the same Halogen Tail Lamp and a Large Grab Rail.

Quite frankly, there aren’t that many noticeable changes between the FZS and FZ.

Additionally, the Yamaha FZ v3 is available in four colors: Red, Blue, Black, and Vintage Green.

Performance

Yamaha FZ FI is powered by a 149cc, Single-Cylinder, SOHC, FI engine. It can generate a max power of 12.4 PS at 7250rpm and a max torque of 13.3 Nm at 5500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated with a 5-speed gearbox with a 12.8-liter fuel tank capacity.

The BS6 iteration produces 0.8PS less power but 0.5Nm more torque. Since the RPM has been reduced by a margin, the performance should feel punchier than the last BS4 iteration.

It still get an excellent mileage of 45-50kmpl.

The safety feature ‘Side Stand Engine Cut Off’ cuts off the engine when the side stand is not retracted.

Additional Details

Telescopic Fork and a 7-Step Adjustable Monocross handle the suspension duties.

It comes with a standard Dual-Disc braking setup but unfortunately lacks Single-Channel ABS.

The dimensions are 1990mm in length, 780mm in width, and 1080mm in height. Moreover, the wheelbase is 1330mm.

Yamaha FZ v3 gets a 165mm ground clearance. And, the kerb weight is 135kg.

Yamaha FZ v3 Price in Nepal and Availability

Talking about the price, the Yamaha FZ v3 price in Nepal is Rs. 3,79,900 for the only available variant.

Although striving for affordability is commendable, it is absurd to eliminate essential safety features.

Single-channel ABS has been a safety standard in India since 2020. It is disappointing to see companies sacrifice important features to save money.

However, if the rider prioritizes safety above all else, adding the extra bucks for the FZS v3 ABS is highly recommended.

Interested individuals can visit the nearest Yamaha showroom for more information.

There is no competition here.

Nevertheless, the Yamaha FZ v3 has an LED Headlight which might be important for some.
