The Yamaha Slider is a 50 cc motor scooter from Yamaha . It is identical to the MBK stunt .
history
The scooter was built by MBK from 1999 to 2004 . Numerous components bear the name MBK, even in the vehicle documents MBK is specified as the manufacturer. Only the differently painted trim parts and stickers as well as the marketing name differentiate the Yamaha Slider from the MBK Stunt, which was sold directly by MBK.
Furnishing
The slider is equipped with a 49 cm³ two-stroke engine that has an output of 2.7 kW. The front wheel is braked with a disc brake , the rear wheel with a drum brake. The slider can be started using an electric or kick starter .
The tank holds 6.5 liters of fuel. The two-stroke oil is in a separate 1.1 liter extra tank and is automatically added to the fuel in a ratio of 1:72.
In contrast to most 50s scooters, the slider does not have a helmet compartment under the seat. However, a luggage rack and a topcase can be attached.
The original exhaust was equipped with a catalytic converter, but it quickly stuck together. Especially when the scooter was throttled to 25 km / h. Many sliders were therefore equipped with a sports exhaust.
It is rare for scooters of this generation to still have a choke lever on the handlebar.
Past and present meaning
In the years of marketing, the Slider was the cheapest scooter offered by Yamaha and differed from other models above all by its comparatively simple and slim-looking design. In Germany , the scooter type is rarely seen today. Newer and futuristic models from Asian cheap manufacturers or models with 4-stroke engines have replaced the scooter. In the areas of the former Soviet Union, however , the scooter is still very popular.
