YAMAHA YZF-R15
Beast unleashed?
Hi guys! Welcome to BIKE TRIPPERS. Today we are
here to discuss about YAMAHA YZF-R15. In this we will know about power,
performance and much more about this bike. And at the end of this article we
will conclude that is it really BEAST UNLEASHED?
The Yamaha YZF-R15 is
a single cylinder sports bike made by Yamaha Motor Company since 2008. In September 2011, the second
iteration, called v2.0, was released in India, and in April 2014 it was
released in Indonesia. In January 2017, the third iteration of the bike,
called v3.0, was launched in Indonesia.
The engine for the first and second
iteration (v2.0) was a 149.8 cc single cylinder four
stroke engine with four valves and a single overhead camshaft. The bore
and stroke were 57.0 mm × 58.7 mm (2.24 in
× 2.31 in). This engine had a claimed 12.2 kW (16.4 hp) of
power at 8,500 rpm and 14.5 N⋅m (10.7 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 7,500 rpm. The radiator is placed in the front of
the engine with a fan behind it. The coolant reserve is on the left side up and
behind the radiator. The transmission is a return type six-speed with a
constant mesh wet multi-plate clutch.
For the first and second iteration,
the bike had a 270 mm (11 in) single disc with dual piston calipers
in the front and a 220 mm single disc single piston caliper at the rear,
both the brake systems being made by Nissin of Japan. The front
suspension was a twin telescopic fork and the rear is a linked type single
shock suspension. The bike has dual headlights like the other bikes of the YZF-R
series.
For the 2017 update, the bike has a
new 155.1 cc engine. The bore and stroke are 58.0 mm
× 58.7 mm (2.28 in × 2.31 in). This engine also
get Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology and has a
claimed 14.2 kW (19.0 hp) of power at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 N⋅m (10.8 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 8,500 rpm. The
front disc is larger than the previous iteration, with a measured 282 mm
(11.1 in). The front suspension is now an inverted twin telescopic fork.
This iteration also features assist and slipper clutch.
The YZF-R15 v2.0 had undergone
changes as compared to the previous version in the cases of the engine control
unit (ECU), drivetrain unit, split-seat design, higher seat height, LED tail
light, wider tires, larger gear ratio (15/47), longer wheelbase, rear mudguard,
and redesigned middle and tail section. The engine performance was largely
similar, still having a six-speed transmission and a linked type single shock
suspension added on the back.
An un-faired, or streetfighter/naked
bike, variation of the YZF-R15 v2.0, called the M-Slaz (also
called Xabre in Indonesia; TFX150 in the
Philippines and Vietnam), is made in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.
The v3.0 has undergone changes as
compared to the previous version in the cases of the updated bodywork and
engine, now features VVA technology, assist and slipper clutch, hazard lamp,
inverted front suspension fork, all-LED lighting system, full LCD panelmeter
with shift indicator and wider tyres.
A streetfighter variation of the
YZF-R15 v3.0, called the MT-15, was launched in Thailand on 6
October 2018, Indonesia on 18 January 2019, Vietnam on 7 March 2019 and
India on 15 March 2019. The Indian version of the MT-15 uses a
conventional telescopic fork instead of inverted type with the rest of the
motorcycle being exactly the same.
The retro-styled naked variation of
the YZF-R15 v3.0, called the XSR155, was launched in Thailand on 16
August 2019.
CONCLUSION
V2.0 AND V3.0 have been great
success for Yamaha Motor Company. The kind of service which Yamaha provide to
its customers is really inspiring. Customers are really satisfied by the bikes.
And at last we can conclude that Yamaha YZF-R15 is a true beast with power,
speed and performance. What do you think about Yamaha YZF-R15! Comment your
