Yamaha India is all set to launch its OBD 2 compliant range of motorcycles today at 11.30am. The MT-15 V2, R15 V4 and FZ-X are set to become BS6.2 compliant, while also packing a bunch of serious updates. 

The Japanese marque had homologated the OBD 2 compliant MT-15 V2 earlier this year. The leaked document revealed the technical specifications of this bike, which you can check out here. Additionally, these bikes will also be equipped with new features like a TFT console and LED indicators. Wondering which bike gets what? Head here to tickle that riddle.

OBD 2 norms will require vehicles to be fitted with the second generation of the Onboard Diagnostic Device (OBD), to comply with preset emission levels in real time and not just in laboratory conditions. This device constantly monitors emissions and notifies the rider about any irregularities via a malfunction indicator on the instrument cluster. 

The R15 V4, FZ-X and MT-15 V2 will be the first three Yamaha bikes to comply with the new emission norms that will kick into effect from April 1 onwards. We expect these updated models to be priced at a premium ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000, over the current bikes.
