Features of the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R15M

For 2023, Yamaha Motor India has upgraded the YZF-R15 version four's M variant with a new colour TFT display. The new display, which functions with a specific smartphone application and benefits from Bluetooth connectivity, is comparable to the unit on the previous iteration. Features like incoming call alerts, SMS and email notifications, and phone battery level are all added via Bluetooth capability. The smartphone software also aids in monitoring fuel usage, offers maintenance advice, remembers where you last parked, and displays problem notifications.

The YZF-R15M now sports full-LED illumination as a result of upgrades to the motorcycle's LED turn indicators and cockpit by Yamaha Motor India. In addition, a single bi-functional LED headlamp with twin-LED DRLS, LED taillight, Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), assist and slipper clutch, traction control system, two ride modes (Track and Street), dual-channel ABS, and a quick-shifter are features that have been carried over from the previous model (upshifts only).

The 2023 Yamaha YZF-R15M continues to use the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-valve, fuel-injected engine with VVA system as its predecessor, with no changes to the mechanical specs. This motor, which is connected to a six-speed gearbox, is calibrated to generate a maximum of 18.1 bhp at 10,000 rpm and a maximum of 14.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm in torque. As previously mentioned, the gearbox includes a quick-shifter as well as an assist clutch and slipper clutch mechanism. Additionally, the 2023 model has an onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) system that continuously analyses the emission levels.

The motorcycle's design is still contemporary, and the look is comparable to its predecessor's. Full-fairing, rear-view mirrors mounted on the fairing, clip-on handlebar, split-style seat, side-slung exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels are some of the stylistic components. Unfortunately, only one paint colour is mentioned for the 2023 YZF-R15M: Metallic Grey. The alloy wheels included with this paint choice are blue and have a dual-tone finish.
