Want to buy YAMAHA YZF-R15?? After reading this article, let’s decide!! YAMAHA YZF-R15 is a white-brand heavy-duty machine in 2018, and it is also a white-brand light-duty heavy-duty machine that is now red. This article introduces the YAMAHA YZF in detail -R15's specifications, colors, and its advantages and disadvantages, let you know faster if YZF-R15 is the heavy machine you really want!! Finally, I also recommend convenient small equipment when riding!!

Advantages

1. R DNA family domineering appearance

YZF-R15 adopts the R DNA family design derived from the big brothers YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 in the same factory

Therefore, the YZF-R15 has a more aggressive and murderous appearance than ordinary light-duty cars.

The golden inverted fork used in YZF-R15 also makes the overall appearance to a higher level. No wonder everyone has been surveyed by car owners: handsome! Domineering! Waiting for praise.

2. The configuration of the frame and suspension is more sporty

YZF-R15 uses an aluminum alloy embracing frame, the front suspension uses an inverted front fork, and the rear suspension uses a mid-mounted multi-link specification

Many owners who have ridden Alu and YZF-R15 agree that YZF-R15 performs better

The combination of the frame and suspension makes it more stable in corners and also brings better stability to the rider.

3. Sufficient power, thanks to the VVA variable valve

YZF-R15 has a maximum horsepower of nearly 20ps at 10,000rpm and a maximum torque of 14.7Nm@8,500rpm

In light-gear cars, it can be counted as the first shift, and the engine has introduced VVA variable valve technology, making the YZF-R15's torque and power at low revolutions better than ordinary light-gear cars.

It also makes the Cavaliers better to learn and more suitable for novices.

4. All-in-one rich equipment

The fourth thing that makes YZF-R15 owners very satisfied is that the YZF-R15 is very equipped.

Sliding clutch, inverted fork, LCD full liquid crystal instrument panel, YZF-R15 is all available

The engine also introduces VVA variable valve technology and YAMAHA’s exclusive Blue Core technology

Therefore, R15 can have a linear power curve and ample power, as well as good fuel consumption performance.

5. Lightweight feel given by sliding off

YZF-R15 is equipped with a sliding clutch, and the instrument also has the function of gear display

Thanks to the sliding clutch, the rider does not need much effort to press the clutch, and the rider can shift gears smoothly.

YZF-R15 is therefore more suitable for daily riding and novices.

6. Good stuff, high price CP

From the above we can see that YZF-R15 has introduced a number of equipment and engine technologies

Some equipment such as: inverted front forks are not common in small-displacement vehicles, but even with such diverse and rich equipment

The price of the YZF-R15 inverted fork version is about 148,000 to 153,000, and the front fork version is only about 138,000, which is slightly higher than the suggested price of GSX-R150 of 128,000.

But its price is matched by its high CP value. Even without the introduction of a general agent, YZF-R15 still attracts many light-duty car players.

Disadvantages

1. Perfectionists are cautious

The YZF-R15 currently on the market are imported from Southeast Asia by traders

From the survey of car owners, we found that many car owners report that there are some small defects on the exterior of the car.

Such as: metal parts (screws, frame, etc.) are easy to rust, some places have paint off, etc., plus the problem of long-distance transportation

The car is also prone to scratches and bumps, and these problems are especially serious in the Indonesian and Indian versions of YZF-R15

These problems may not affect the ride

But for perfectionists or extreme car lovers, it may bring unpleasant feelings.

2. The time of licensing

After you have thought about it, you finally made up your mind, and the car finally came to you from Southeast Asia

However, the license plate of the car has not yet been obtained! Therefore, even if the car is in front of you, you still cannot ride your beloved YZF-R15 around!

According to the survey of car owners, most car owners report that this process may take up to one and a half months. Before buying a car, you may still need to be mentally prepared!

3. Seat height and riding posture are not close to the people

The third reason why car owners will not recommend YZF-R15 to all prospective buyers is that its seat height and riding posture are not close to the people.

In terms of seat height, YZF-R15 reaches 815mm

And the riding triangle setting that tends to be sports cars also makes YZF-R15 riders have to lean forward and lie down.

Riding for a long time will bring more burden to the rider

This may be something that the prospective buyer needs time and psychological preparation to overcome after starting.

4. Insufficient headlight brightness

The fourth YZF-R15 owner's recognized shortcoming is that the brightness of the YZF-R15 headlight is insufficient

This has almost become a place of criticism or enhancement of all car owners

If you live in an area with relatively insufficient light sources such as suburbs or have a long night riding demand

After starting YZF-R15, you may need to make some modifications or consider other models.

5. Rear seat cover that cannot be opened with a key

The rear seat cover of YZF-R15 cannot be opened with a key like a normal car and stuffed into small objects such as wallets, rags, etc.

Only open the front seat cushion first, and then use the wrench to open the rear seat cushion

So usually car owners can only put things that are not often picked up, such as dash cams.

As a stalled car, the last remaining and only storage space has been deprived of it. This is probably a pain that only the owner can understand.
