Apr 3, 2017, 6:10 PM
Dubbed Yamaha's variable valve actuation (VVA), it is a basic version of variable valve technology which uses a mechanism to shift between cam profiles for low-rpm engine speeds as well as high-rpm speeds. The VVA allows Yamaha to use a single overhead cam which makes the cylinder head more compact, and is also said to return sharper throttle response. The engine is now a 155 cc single-cylinder SOHC mill capable of producing 19.3 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of peak torque at 8500 rpm.

    BS 3 Vehicles List In India: Discount Offers On Cars And Bikes
    It's the last day for auto dealers to clear out stock of BS III vehicles which cannot be sold from 1 April 2017, as per the orders of the Supreme Court. We've seen heavy discounts offered by auto dealers in a rush to clear out their existing inventory of BS III vehicles. Two wheeler dealers in some cities have already sold out and others, especially in big cities, are hoping to clear out as much stock as possible today. The story is slightly different for car dealers, even car dealers of some BS III vehicles are offering heavy discounts. This is only for passenger cars of Tata Motors and select Mahindra vehicles.
