About the Yamaha R15 V2

Overview

The Yamaha R15 V2 is a motorcycle from Yamaha. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 149.8 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 149.8 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 16.00 HP at 8,500 rpm and 15.00 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 119 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a deltabox frame. At the front, the suspension is telescopic hydraulic, 130 mm travel forks. At the rear, it is aluminium swingarm, linked type monocross, 103 mm travel. Braking is by a 267 mm disc at the front and a 250 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch 5-spoke wheels — 90/80-17 at the front and 130/70-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 800 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 136 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 160 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 1,970 mm long, with 1,345 mm between the axles. It carries 12 L of fuel.

Maintaining the Yamaha R15 V2

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Single disc, 267 mm and Single disc, 250 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 90/80-17 / 130/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V, 3.5Ah (10H). Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Yamaha R15 V2 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
