Quicker acceleration from the 149.8 cc single-cylinder engine is promised thanks to an altered engine control unit, while handling should be enhanced by the fitment of a rigid aluminium swing arm and a wider 130 mm radial rear tyre. Complementing the thicker rubber is a larger 220 mm diameter rear brake disc for extra stopping power.
Visually things have been sharpened up with a restyled, more aerodynamic fairing and tail unit. Other changes include a new seat design, LED taillights, five-spoke cast wheels and a different exhaust system that features a carbon-look pattern on the silencer.
Available exclusively in India, the Yamaha YZF-R15 costs Rs. 1.07 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is around £1,450 or €1,670 at current exchange rates. The colour choice comprises Sunset Red, Midnight Black or Racing Blue.
