Yamaha India has finally launched their much awaited motorcycle, the Yamaha YZF R15 version 3 at the Auto Expo 2018. The R15 v3 has evolved a lot from the previous generation models, and also shares much of the design philosophy with its elder siblings the R1 and R6. The motorcycle gets a thorough update this time right from the fairing design to engine components.

Yamaha YZF R15 V3.0 Overview

Looks and Design:

The Yamaha YZF R15 V3 gets an overall design overhaul, which now looks more appropriate to the Yamaha "R" lineup. The R15 version 3.0 features an R6/R1 inspired front fairing with a dual LED headlight setup upfront. There is a faux air intake duct between the LED headlights adding some visual glamour. The windscreen is also designed for great aerodynamic efficiency and can give enough wind protection to the rider when tucked in.

The sides of the fairing have large heat dissipation cuts on either sides, while the tank is sculpted and large enough. The rider seat is long, so crouching would be a piece of cake. The pillion seat is a bit lower than the R15 V2.0, and the pillion seat size is almost similar to the outgoing model. The rear end is sharp with a neatly designed tail section. The tail lamp is also an LED unit. The motorcycle almost looks like a miniature R1 in all its glory. Engine and Performance:

The Yamaha YZF R15 V3 gets an all new 155cc liquid cooled 4 valve SOHC engine which churns out a class leading 19.3 hp at 10,000 RPM and 14.7 Nm of torque at 8,500 RPM. The engine is fuel injected and features Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), a first in the segment. The clutch is a wet multiplate unit with slip and assist, while the transmission is a 6 speed manual. The clutch feel is said to be light, helping for quick downshifts. The engine runs at a high compression ratio (11.6:1) which helps to churn out that amount of power. Brakes, Chassis and Suspension:

The R15 Version 3.0 is equipped with the trusted Deltabox frame which makes the motorcycle handle like a charm around the corners and in the straights. Braking duties are carried out by a 282mm disc with two piston calipers and a 240mm disc at the rear with a single piston caliper. Unlike the international model, the motorcycle misses out on USD forks in India to reduce production costs. Instead the R15 V3 gets 41mm conventional telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear.

The rear tyre profile gets meatier at 140/70-17 profile while the front tyre remains unchanged at 100/80-17. The motorcycle features an all new fully digital multi function instrument cluster with an USB charging port, gear position indicator, on board computer, clock, gear shift indicator and all other tell tale lights.

Price and Mileage:

Yamaha India have finally unveiled the YZF R15 V3 after years of speculations and spotting in India. The motorcycle is priced at Rs. 1,25,000 (ex showroom Delhi), which is quite competitive for the amount of technology that goes in. The motorcycle would still sell like hot cakes, as India is still a large market for the 150cc category. The top speed can be expected close to 140 kmph and a fuel economy of around 35-40 kmpl. The motorcycle comes in two colors at present - Racing Blue and Thunder Grey, but we're sure Yamaha will be adding a couple more colors after some time.

Yamaha YZF-R15 V 3.0 Vs KTM Duke 125- Comparo

Dec 3, 2018
The trend nowadays is of small displacement high powered bikes which can deliver mileage and performance. Such bikes usually have the chassis of a performance bike but lack a big engine.

Yamaha’s Cheap Fix for YZF R15 V3.0 is an insult to the injury

Sep 8, 2018
A piece of PVS Pipe is what seems to be the remedy proposed by the company to the known problem. The side panels of the fuel tank started to come loose whenever a little force was applied to them. Although it spawned a number of memes and a lot of articles, they all seem to have been in vain because Yamaha Motors India’s answer to the loose tank problem is a "PVC Pipe". Let me explain.

Reasons That Might Take You Away From Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0

Feb 16, 2018
Auto Expo 2018 came with its set of new launches and among them, the most prominent one was the launch of the highly anticipated Yamaha R15 V3. This bike was already being sold in the international market but on 7th February 2018, it made its way to India. It’s a classic tale with a twist because the Indian spec R15 lacks USD and an ABS. This led to the young biker community in our country feeling a bit down. So let’s dissect this bike and take a look at all the worrying factors ourselves.
