    Oil change is necessary and coming to tyres use branded one because it needs high friction otherwise its dangerous while we are riding

  • R15- buy or not to buy..

    Vicky

    1. It's the best bike under the price of 1.5 lakh.

    2. You will love this bike completely if you are a speed lover. However it's a bit uncomfortable for long tours as the handle of the bike is in such a place that pains your spine for long tours.

    3. It's look is just awesome and the best part is the head of the bike that looks very awesome. The bike also gives u a very good mileage of 44-45 kmpl.

    4. The first servicing of the bike takes place after 1000 km , 2nd servicing after 3000 km, 3rd servicing after 6000 km, 4th servicing after 9000 km and in such a way it goes on. If u are able to maintain a bike it's a very good bike.

    5. Pros: cheap bike, injectors provided in tank, awesome look, mileage average

    cons: handle is kept very down that pains the spine in long tours, back seat is very high and uncomfortable, whole head is of fibre because of which if you get a single damage in one part, you have to change its whole head.

    Do your 1st servicing in 30 days and 2nd servicing in 100 days. Keep your bike in a closed place(garage) because 1 scratch can change your bike look

    This is a kind of bike which suits to everyone. This was my first bike and i seriously think that no other brand can provide this kind of bike in this segment .It has very stable ride with a nice handling if u accelerate your bike to more than 100kmpl then also you will not feel any vibrations and dis-balancing. It has awesome pickup with efficient mileage. The bike looks so cool and liked by almost every girl.Servicing and maintenance comes down to very pocket friendly rates. Pros are very stylish,comfortable,stable and mileage,fuel injection in this price range where as cons are vibrations do start to kick in when you cross 10rpm ,not comfortable for hilly rides, pickup gets very slow when it comes to hill areas.

  • Yamaha r15 long term review.

    5 years ago


    Rahul

    So this bike I've been riding for about 2 years now i got it from a friend who moved abroad so i'm using it now, the performance of the bike is very good?i did a mileage test with mix highway and city traffic and i got 43 kmpl to be exact the sitting position is super sport so it might not be comfortable for all the riders in daily commutes, i'm 5"11 tall but i didn't notice any problems riding the bike in all situations, the only thing i don't like about the bike is after it runs for about 20 kms the engine becomes a bit rough and clunky, which is not something i like.

    Pros :

    Amazing looks : r15 v2 is a masterpiece in terms of styling. Deriving its origin from its elder sibling r1, the r15 v2 looks a hell lot sexier than other bikes in competition.

    Handling : r15 v2 has delta-box frame which provides an smooth handling experience. Cornering is so much fun on this bike. Gives you a 100% sports-bike experience.

    Engine : however 150cc engine seems a bit low capacity for this bike but it never seems to lack capability. It is one of the finest engines you can get in 150cc range. Yamaha’s reliability is trusted all over the world and the r15v2 is no exception. 150cc fi engine does its job wonderfully and is very rev friendly. You can cruise on this beast all day long at 120kmph and this bike wont break a sweat.

    Track focused : apart from ktm rc siblings r15v2 is the only track focused bike in its competition. The bike is designed in such a way that it gives you a great super-bike experience. Take it on a track and unleash the beast.

    Cons :

    Pillion seat : pillion seat is too high to sit and uncomfortable. The bike is literally meant for single rider and there is no grab rails for the pillion.

    Expensive : the bike seems a bit expensive since it has 150cc engine where as for a few thousand bucks extra you can go for higher capacity bikes.

    Fuel economy : it is not much of a concern for me but as most of us (Indians) look for mileage as an important factor this bike has mileage of 35–40kmpl.

    Finally i would say i never regretted having r15v2. It gives me an amazing riding experience, it has got the looks and its from the yammie stable so 100% reliable.

    1. It's the best bike under the price of 1.5 lakh.

    2. You will love this bike completely if you are a speed lover. However it's a bit uncomfortable for long tours as the handle of the bike is in such a place that pains your spine for long tours.

    3. It's look is just awesome and the best part is the head of the bike that looks very awesome. The bike also gives u a very good mileage of 44-45 kmpl.

    4. The first servicing of the bike takes place after 1000 km , 2nd servicing after 3000 km, 3rd servicing after 6000 km, 4th servicing after 9000 km and in such a way it goes on. If u are able to maintain a bike it's a very good bike.

    5. Pros: cheap bike, injectors provided in tank, awesome look, mileage average

    cons: handle is kept very down that pains the spine in long tours, back seat is very high and uncomfortable, whole head is of fibre because of which if you get a single damage in one part, you have to change its whole head.

    This is a kind of bike which suits to everyone. This was my first bike and i seriously think that no other brand can provide this kind of bike in this segment .It has very stable ride with a nice handling if u accelerate your bike to more than 100kmpl then also you will not feel any vibrations and dis-balancing. It has awesome pickup with efficient mileage. The bike looks so cool and liked by almost every girl.Servicing and maintenance comes down to very pocket friendly rates. Pros are very stylish,comfortable,stable and mileage,fuel injection in this price range where as cons are vibrations do start to kick in when you cross 10rpm ,not comfortable for hilly rides, pickup gets very slow when it comes to hill areas.

    Rahul

    So this bike I've been riding for about 2 years now i got it from a friend who moved abroad so i'm using it now, the performance of the bike is very good?i did a mileage test with mix highway and city traffic and i got 43 kmpl to be exact the sitting position is super sport so it might not be comfortable for all the riders in daily commutes, i'm 5"11 tall but i didn't notice any problems riding the bike in all situations, the only thing i don't like about the bike is after it runs for about 20 kms the engine becomes a bit rough and clunky, which is not something i like.

    Shravan

    Pros :

    Amazing looks : r15 v2 is a masterpiece in terms of styling. Deriving its origin from its elder sibling r1, the r15 v2 looks a hell lot sexier than other bikes in competition.

    Handling : r15 v2 has delta-box frame which provides an smooth handling experience. Cornering is so much fun on this bike. Gives you a 100% sports-bike experience.

    Engine : however 150cc engine seems a bit low capacity for this bike but it never seems to lack capability. It is one of the finest engines you can get in 150cc range. Yamaha’s reliability is trusted all over the world and the r15v2 is no exception. 150cc fi engine does its job wonderfully and is very rev friendly. You can cruise on this beast all day long at 120kmph and this bike wont break a sweat.

    Track focused : apart from ktm rc siblings r15v2 is the only track focused bike in its competition. The bike is designed in such a way that it gives you a great super-bike experience. Take it on a track and unleash the beast.

    Cons :

    Pillion seat : pillion seat is too high to sit and uncomfortable. The bike is literally meant for single rider and there is no grab rails for the pillion.

    Expensive : the bike seems a bit expensive since it has 150cc engine where as for a few thousand bucks extra you can go for higher capacity bikes.

    Fuel economy : it is not much of a concern for me but as most of us (Indians) look for mileage as an important factor this bike has mileage of 35–40kmpl.

    Finally i would say i never regretted having r15v2. It gives me an amazing riding experience, it has got the looks and its from the yammie stable so 100% reliable.
