Yamaha is one company which has always launched various two-wheelers at various stages of their existence in India. The Yamaha FZ series has been one such series which has been appreciated a lot by the consumers. The Yamaha YZF series too is quite popular. One look at the bike and you will know that it has a sporty look. The good thing about the bike is that it has a very competitive price tag.
The Yamaha YZF R15 has all the qualities and technologies that you would expect of a Yamaha bike. Disc brakes, excellent gearbox, suspension, fuel injection system and everything else fall in place for the Yamaha YZF R15. Braced up with all these technologies, YZF R15 is ready to take on the bikes in its category. Let’s have a look at the features of the Yamaha YZF R15.
The Yamaha YZF R15 comes in a liquid cooled, 4 stroke, single cylinder, SOHC 4 valve engine. The liquid cooling technology helps the bike in churning out stable performance. Water jacket encircles the engine. This increases the weight of the bike considerably. However, the company has found a solution for this. They have used a lightweight aluminum radiator to reduce the weight of the bike.
The YZF R15 comes in a 149.8cc displacement. Just imagine the power of this humongous bike. The acceleration is the last thing you have to worry about. It is nothing but a mere flying experience. You can guess the power of the bike with the fact that it takes only around 5.10 seconds to the 0-60 kmpl.
Another example of the influence the engine has over the bike is that it generates a top power of 17 PS at 8,500 rpm and generates a peak torque of 15 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The bike is integrated with a return type six speed manual gear box. Interestingly, the bike comes only in the self start option. The dimensions of the Yamaha YZF R15 are as follows: length 1995 mm, width 670 mm and the height is 1070 mm.
The bike is armed with DiASil Cylinder and electric fuel injection system. It helps in maximizing the power, acceleration and the overall mileage of the bike. The Yamaha R15 comes with a digital cum analogue dashboard. The rear view mirror fitting is superbly done to make it easy for the rider to view. The Yamaha YZF R15 has a 12 liter fuel tank. No doubt, the Yamaha YZF R15 is a heavy bike. For this reason, the fuel economy gets on the lower side. A user can expect only about 35 to 40 kmpl. But as the bike falls in the sports category, not much millage should be expected of it.
Blue and graphite are the two colors in which the Yamaha R15 comes in. Rear side panels, the fuel tank and the front fairing are painted in the body color. The black alloy wheels add to the beauty of the bike in, especially the blue color.
