YAMAHA Yzf R15 Review
YAMAHAs Human Technology involves studying the form of the motorcycle actually in motion with the rider on it.
The R series is the embodiment of 1) a wide frontal space that protects the rider, 2) an easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and allows them to steer effectively, 3) the glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of airflow behind the rider, and 4) a sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a harmonious package.
These characteristics which were found in the earlier R models have been splendidly reproduced in the YZF-R15.
This design has been developed in the same lineage as yamaha R1 and carries on the same way as the earlier model.Also the seat was modified for the Indian market by the seat shape that allows tandem riding, tandem grips that are easy
to grip and a super sport design that takes riding comfort into account.
The delta box frame which forms the basis riding in comfort, was designed to provide the best balance in longitudinal, lateral, and torsional rigidity. The synergy created by optimizing each dimension delivers a solid riding feel as well
as comfort and agile riding performance. A characteristic of the R series is that, when you view the machine, you get a sense of its concept and performance.
The two components of the fuel injection mechanism used in YZF-R15, a) the sensors that gather information on the engine's operation, and b) the fuel supply system that supplies gasoline, have both been designed to be lightweight and
simple. The sensor component uses only 4 sensors (Red blinking points) to gather large amounts of information relating to engine operations, which is sent to a small 26-pin ECU, which in turn calculates the optimum fuel supply.
YZF-R15 is equipped with a linked type monocross suspension that delivers a comfortable ride and a cushioning performance that is less prone to bottoming out. In particular, it reduces annoying “sinking" when riding tandem.
The optimization of the frame and rear arm rigidity of the Deltabox Frame combined with the effects of the linked type monocross suspension achieve good riding comfort, agile handling, and turnability, hardly ever causing bottoming out.
This characteristic of motorcycles designed by YAMAHA as represented by the R series reflects the philosophy running through these models expressing performance visually.
