Trending Questions on Yamaha YZF R15 V4 - Answered by Autocar Experts
What will be the maintenance cost of the Yamaha R15 V4 for 50,000 km if I ride it slowly?
While riding carefully will definitely help prolong the life of your bike, it won’t make a huge difference in terms of savings.
Modern bikes are built to handle quite a bit of stress, and in the case of the Yamaha YZF R15 V4, you can expect it to last a long time without costing too much to maintain.
Routine parts like tyres, brake pads, fluids, and valve clearances will need replacement regardless of how carefully you ride. However, riding gently can help extend the life of some running components.
For exact maintenance costs, it’s best to visit your nearest Yamaha dealer or service centre and speak to a trained official.
I’m buying my first sportbike and have shortlisted two models: the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 and the Yamaha R15. Which should I choose? I want good mileage, sharp handling, low maintenance, reliability, and comfort. I ride mostly in the city and my height is 5'7".
If you’re looking for a true-blue sportbike experience in an approachable package, the Yamaha YZF R15 V4 is one of the purest examples in its class.
However, since you prefer comfort and mostly ride within the city, we would recommend the Suzuki Gixxer SF instead. The Yamaha is a no-holds-barred sportbike; its rider's triangle is very committed and its suspension is on the stiffer side. In comparison, the Suzuki feels more amenable.
That said, we’d suggest taking a test ride of both before deciding. A sportbike isn’t always a logical purchase. It’s one you buy because you love those racy looks and the thrill that comes with it. Happy riding!
