Yamaha Motor India has announced the launch of the 2023 YZF-R15 range in our market. For 2023, Yamaha has updated the colour palette for the standard variant of the YZF-R15, while the M version gets additional features.
The instrument cluster on the YZF-R15M, for example, is now a colour TFT display instead of an LCD unit on the previous version. The new display, similar to the unit on the previous version, benefits from Bluetooth connectivity, and the system works with a dedicated smartphone application. The Bluetooth function adds features such as incoming call alerts, SMS and email notifications, and phone battery level. Further, the smartphone application helps track fuel consumption, provides maintenance recommendations, saves the last parked location, and shows malfunction notifications.
The M variant also benefits from LED turn indicators while retaining features such as the single bi-functional LED headlight with twin-LED DRLS, LED taillight, Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), assist and slipper clutch, traction control system, two ride modes (Track and Street), dual-channel ABS, and a quick-shifter (upshifts only) from the previous version. Meanwhile, the standard model retains the LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity and halogen-type turn indicators. Further, the quick shifter is available as an accessory for Dark Knight and Metallic Red paint options of the standard model.
The mechanical specifications remain unaltered, and the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R15 continues to use the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-valve, fuel-injected engine with VVA system as its predecessor. However, the 2023 model comes equipped with an onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) system that monitors the emission levels in real time. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this motor is tuned to deliver a maximum output of 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque of 14.2Nm at 7,500rpm.
The styling remains similar to its predecessor, and the 2023 iteration of the motorcycle retains a modern design. The styling elements include full-fairing, fairing-mounted rear-view mirrors, clip-on handlebar, split-style seat, side-slung exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends. The 2023 YZF-R15M is listed in a single paint option – Metallic Grey. The standard YZF-R15, on the other hand, gets three colour themes – Metallic Red, Racing Blue, and the newly added Dark Knight.
Similar to the design, the hardware is retained from the previous version, and the motorcycle continues to use a deltabox frame. The suspension tasks are handled by 37mm upside-down front forks and a rear mono-shock. The braking setup includes a 282mm single disc at the front and a 220mm single rotor at the back, while the safety net on both variants includes a dual-channel ABS and traction control system. The 17-inch alloy wheels are shod in 100/80-section front and 140/70-section rear tyres. Further, the rear wheel uses a radial-type tyre. The motorcycle features
