Yamaha Libero G5

Yamaha Libero G5 is the successor of Yamaha Libero. Unlike its predecessor this new bike comes loaded with a slew of new features including new sporty head light and fuel guage. But it does not have tachnometer (RPM). It has got a new set of air scoops with a honeycomb grille which directs airflow over the engine block and covers the gap between the engine and the fuel tank. Libero G5's frame continues to be the tubular dual cradle type. This bike is quite popular in Bangladesh even though it has been made particularly for the Indian market. It is considered as one of the best looking bikes among its counterparts and in 2007 Yamaha again released the updated version of Libero G5 with the alloy wheels and the electric start.

Libero G5 bears the same engine with 1 down 3 up gear pattern and the gear shift is very smooth. No hard revs and jerks in the engine and the new modified muffler is to give a silent note. It doesn't have an aluminium cylinder like the Fazer or Enticer though. It's of 4 stroke air-cooled SOHC engine which delivers maximum power of 7.6 PS (5.59 kw) @ 7500 rpm and maximum torque of 0.8 kgf-m (7.85 Nm) @ 6000 rpm.Yamaha has also introduced a compulsive pressure wet sump lubrication system in the 106 cc engine of Libero G5.
