The bike can store 10.2 litre of fuel and has a kerb weight of 135 kg. It gets disc brakes (sans ABS) with 110/70-17 M/C 54s tyre upfront and 130/70-17 M/C 62s tyre at the rear.
Housed inside the deltabox frame is the same 149 cc liquid cooled, fuel injected mill seen in the Yamaha R15 and is coupled with a 6-speed transmission.
The Yamaha M-Slaz is available across Thailand at a price tag of 89,500 Thai baht.
