Jogging

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

If one showed up for sale in Deepinnaharta, I'd snap it up quick. Never owned one, but several Forum denizens extol its virtues: Horizontal Minarelli engine is reputed to be faster than Honda's AF series, and mod-for-mod it gets quicker still. Lots of Aftermarket options - maybe more than for Honda. It's about the size of the SA50 Elites, judging from pics, but later-model Yamahas tend to be heavier than Hondas, one possible downside to me.

I suggest you Google Yamaha Jog and see if you can find specs.

Jogs are arguably the fastest (small bore) scooter. Stock - it is the fastest 50cc scooter produced.
Parts are cheap and easy to find!

Great to hear I bought it for $350 from a young kid looking for cash, it runs great and also looks great too.

Wrong, the Aprilia sr50 is faster but the jog was only 2/3 the price tag (I've had both).

True of the newer ones, although a Zuma weighs as much as a Ruckus but they both had a claimed dry weight of 137# for '97 and the jog carries its weight lower so it doesn't feel as heavy.

Hello all,
I have a qustion, can I put a tach/rpm gauge on my 1998 Yamaha Jog? I think it would be kind of neat.

Depends on the tach. Most cheap tachs just wrap a wire around the spark plug wire.
