Engine Type Refers to the design and configuration of the engine. Most petrol bikes typically use either a single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, or occasionally a multi-cylinder (like a four-cylinder) engine. | Single Cylinder, 4-Stroke, 4-Valve, SOHC |
Displacement | 149 cc |
Max Torque Represents the highest rotational force output by the engine, usually measured in Newton-meters (Nm) or pound-feet (lb-ft). It indicates the engine's pulling power. | 15 Nm @ 7500 rpm |
No. of Cylinders Indicates the total count of combustion cylinders in the engine. Common configurations include single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, and four-cylinder setups.
| 1 |
Cooling System Describes the method used to dissipate heat from the engine. Petrol bikes often use air-cooling or liquid-cooling systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures. | Liquid Cooled |
Valve Per Cylinder Refers to the number of intake and exhaust valves present in each cylinder. Most modern petrol bike engines have two or four valves per cylinder. | 4 |
Starting Describes how the engine is initiated. Most petrol bikes use electric starters, kick starters, or both, to commence engine operation. | Self Start Only |
Fuel Supply | Fuel Injection |

Ignition | TCI |
Gear Box Indicates the arrangement of gears that transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the rider to adjust speed and torque. | 6-Speed |
Bore These measurements describe the diameter (bore) and length (stroke) of the cylinder in the engine. They directly affect an engine's performance characteristics. | 57 mm |
Stroke These measurements describe the diameter (bore) and length (stroke) of the cylinder in the engine. They directly affect an engine's performance characteristics. | 58.7 mm |
Compression Ratio Reflects the ratio of the maximum volume in the cylinder (when the piston is at the bottom) to the minimum volume (when the piston is at the top) during the engine cycle. Higher compression ratios generally lead to more efficient combustion. | 10.4:1 |

Comfort User Reviews of Yamaha YZF R15
- Good Bikes
All over bike is good but at comfort level, Yamaha needs to modify on this. The over-performance styling and riding experience is too good.
- Great bike
Total bike experience is very good. But in opinion i think bike is not comfortable for rider. I am feeling wrist pain after driving my yamaha r15 v3. But on the other hand this is definitely look like any other superbike. For look i give 4 star for this bike. Read More
- Yamaha R15
If you have a love for racing bikes than I want to suggest R15, perfect bike for racing. I owned Yamaha R15 last year and I am satisfied. This bike is equipped with superior engine that generates sudden torque, when you accelerates it quite more you feel great, nice sound coming from the engine along with it generates nice mileage 45 kmpl. Its split seats are more comfortable for rider than person who sits at back. As its engine made for speed so it demands more attention towards it, time to time servicing is necessary for this bike, if you failed to do so then it would cost very much. BTW superb handling characteristics and its suspension helps to overcome road potholes very easily and comfortably. Its looks are very attractive. All body work is done with fibre which is a negative point. The main problem is with its chain, Its chain get loose repeatedly that is the biggest issue and it also has low tyre grip on wet roads.

- R15 - Changing the view of Sports Biking in India
Yamaha R15 was the first affordable sports bike in India which shared most of the styling bits with Yamaha’s much expensive bikes of the R series. R15 changed the view of sports biking in India. The looks and performance of this bike made it famous instantly and looking at its popularity and rising competition, Yamaha launched the second version of the bike named R15 Version 2.0. Being a fan of Yamaha R series bikes, R15 was the only affordable option for me. As compared to the previous model, R15 2.0 have a slightly different and better designing but I found the older one better because of its seating posture. The split seat gives a more richer look to the bike but makes it difficult for the pillion to sit comfortably. My friend owns a R15 and I have always heard good for the bike. It is well-balanced, have decent power, runs fast and performs well even on bumpy roads and bad weather conditions. Yamaha R series offers few of the best sports bikes and R15 is one of them with a price tag of just Rs. 1.3 lac. I have waited long to buy a bike and I will certainly purchase R15 one day.Read More
