YZF-R15
Yamaha YZF-R15 for Sale at MOTOGO Yamaha in Bentleigh, VIC | Specifications and Review Information
Tech heads are well catered for with a 150 cc liquid cooled and fuel injected engine slotting into a Deltabox chassis boasting linked monocross suspension. R15 bristles with state-of-the art technology also seen on the world's best supersport bikes, such as a forged aluminium piston running in an all-aluminium DiASil cylinder which offers the benefits of light weight, great heat dissipation, less oil consumption and high levels of wear resistance.
Deltabox Frame
R-series style Deltabox frame forms the basis for riding comfort and performance. The synergy created by optimising longitudinal, lateral, and torsional rigidity delivers a solid riding feel as well as agile riding performance.
220 mm Rear Disc & Wide Radial Tyre
A larger 220 mm diameter rear disc brake has been adopted to achieve a better balance with the new rear 130 mm rear tyre size and ensure good braking power and operability. This larger disc is coupled with the piston-slide type single-pot caliper.
Split Seat with Pillion
A separate-section seat enables a better feeling of seat grip in sporty riding. This new seat design features a slip-resistant seat cover material, excellent cushion qualities, optimised shape for the inner thigh contact area and the cushioned front edge of the rear seat that supports the rider's rear.
Linked-type Monocross Suspension
YZF-R15 version 2.0 is equipped with a linked type monocross suspension that delivers a comfortable ride and a cushioning performance that is less prone to bottoming out.
R-Series Styling
YZF-R15 sports image is carried through to the cockpit where R-style analogue tacho, digital speedo, trip and fuel gauge inform the rider.
Aluminium Swingarm
The long swing arm design is a feature fed back from Yamaha's YZR-M1 MotoGP race machine and it is effective for ensuring outstanding rear tyre traction. It's cast in one piece by the gravity casting technique that enables a quality cast with great freedom in sectional thickness. The chain adjustment assembly at the end of the rear arm is the same type used on Super sports models to improve adjustment capability.
