Mt 15 rocks

1 year ago by Harish1,617 views

I bought in may 2019. Its been 6+ months riding mostly city limits. Once i went for long ride. Bike is perfect for city riding. Handling is excellent. Engine is very refined and i never felt that it is 155cc engine. Its premium engine. Wont feel any vibrations even at higher rpm. Console is clear and trendy. Mt15 is one of the best looking naked bikes.

1.Price : bought it from Bmw motorrad tusker bangalore. Costs around 169 k. Yes that wasn't cheap, but bikes actual price is 106k, gst is about 31k, remaining is rto and insurance. 2. Pros : very comfortable to ride, seat is little hard, suspension too, but coming from 135 Ls, this one is better. Bike is so short, very compact, no extra plastic parts like pulsar- performance is very good, there's little vibration in handlebar and tank, but very mild, torque is very good, even with pillion bike handling is very smooth, very good mileage, i got more than 50 km/l before 1st service, riding under 5k rpm. Now getting more than 55 km/l riding below 7k rpm, not yet checked in city mileage but its all about riding style. 3. Cons : rear view mirrors are garbage, other budget bikes gets better mirrors, no frame slider, frame slider sold in aftermarket may damage engine head, seat is very hard, need to modify, no cover for radiator, you've to buy one from aftermarket, costs like 1k- heavy wind blast after 90 km/h, bike felt weight less after 110 km/h, not safe, Yamaha Indonesia offers better, best accessories officially should've given pillion grab rail as additional accessories, no low battery indicator, this should be mandatory to all bikes, because of no kick start. 4. Tips :- this bike is not suitable for everyone, but if you like it, give it a test drive and decide many say heat issue, this is caused by radiator fan running while in slow speed, its normal. If you worried about engine overheating, there's a temperature indicator in console- bike has only single channel abs, bike is lightweight, so if dual channel abs added, you may not get better braking control. Abs will not stop bike instantly, it'll stop tire from locking.- rear tire might lock under panic braking on sand/wet surface, better learn progressive braking- bike is light weight and suspension's are hard, so this bike is very good for drifting, yes pillion comfort is not good, but you should've known that from the bikes look. If you are looking for pillion comfort, this is not the right choice in highway mileage can go above 60 km/l.

While buying we feel the bike is pricey but when you drive it you will get to know that its worth, engine is very good best in it's segment, very cost cutting no radiator guard, engine guard, only engine is good. Servicing is costly labour charges, spare parts are also costly. Eye catching look and fresh in market only the thing is maintenance is high due to matt scratches are visible.

Just 1 word for this bike that is "awesome". Just go for it if you love torque and speed. Looks is too good. Only one small issue is there that the pillion seat is too small for bulky people. Otherwise it is just awesome. So before buying please check the pillion seat once.

I am extremely pledge with the services and customer care provided at the showroom. Most importantly i was happy being a medical student I saw the service peoples were following the covid19 precautions. The riding experience of the bike is awesome best among the 150cc segment I thought buying r15 v3 but mt15 suited me better by performance wise no doubt its amazing especially the ninja look in the bike is one of the reason to buy now looking at the servicing and maintenance its good I didn't got the best but yes no major complaints the bike has got no cons except the pricing of the bike.

As its Yamaha it always stable engine no vibration in any speed although if they design little bit longer pillion seat it would been great and add dual channel abs as it's siblings getting its been fair at this price range.

4Could have been better 3 weeks ago by Anang Tadar
Let me start with the worst: Worst thing in this bike is switch control specially for the left hand. They have put the horn in between the light and indicator switch. It's very difficult and confusing. And in emergency you end up pressing the indicator instead of horn. ...
Let me start with the worst: Worst thing in this bike is switch control specially for the left hand. They have put the horn in between the light and indicator switch. It's very difficult and confusing. And in emergency you end up pressing the indicator instead of horn. The pass light is hybrid and is integrated into the same switch of upper and dipper. It's very risky to do over take with this bike since neither are you able to give a horn or a pass light in emergency or rapid overtake. At that price range could have provided dual channel abs, since fz also have single channel abs like mt15 only at the price of 110k.Looks great, runs better, very fuel efficient, looks very cool and sexy, nice control.
