Yamaha Y15ZR Updated For 2022 In Malaysia

Gets fresh new colour schemes and graphics 

Yamaha has updated its 150cc moped, the Y15ZR, for 2022 in the Malaysian market. It gets new graphics and is wrapped in fresh new paint schemes. Mechanically, however, the scooter remains unchanged.

The Y15ZR retains the same moped styling as the earlier model, but gets sporty graphics to complement its performance-oriented looks. It is available in four istinct paint schemes: Cyan, blue, green and grey.

Powering the Y15ZR is the same 149.7cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 15.4PS and 13.8Nm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The Yamaha Y15ZR is suspended on a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock at the rear with preload adjustability. Braking duties are handled via discs on both ends. Rolling on 17-inch alloy wheels, the Y15ZR enters motorcycle territory and offers a ground clearance of 135mm.

In terms of features, the Y15ZR does not pack a lot in comparison to modern day scooters and motorcycles, however, it still does get a digital LCD instrument cluster and LED headlight with DRLs.

The Yamaha Y15ZR will not be heading to our shores any time soon. It is priced at Malaysian Ringgit 8,498, the equivalent of Rs 1.53 lakh here in India, making it more expensive than the Yamaha Aerox 155, which gets a whole lot of features and offers incredible performance to boot.
