  • Is this dual channel abs featured?

    17 April 2025 20:00

    Dual Channel ABS is a advanced braking system that operates independently on both the front and rear wheels of a motorcycle. This system applies braking pressure to both wheels individually, based on the amount of force applied to each brake lever, ensuring optimal braking balance and stability. It prevents the rear wheel from lifting or the front wheel from over-braking, maintaining steering control during hard braking and reducing the risk of skidding. Dual Channel ABS provides shorter stopping distances, improved control during braking, and enhanced safety on various road surfaces, including dry tarmac, wet roads, gravel, and loose dirt. This technology is featured in several modern motorcycles, such as the Hero Karizma XMR and TVS Apache series, to enhance rider safety and confidence[5).

    If your Yamaha R15 V4 is suddenly overheating, you may be able to cover this issue under warranty, but it depends on the specific circumstances. It is recommended to visit the nearest authorized Yamaha service center for a thorough inspection.

    The Yamaha R15S is renowned for its exceptional handling and ride quality. It features a race-bred twin spar Deltabox chassis, which provides unmatched ride quality, excellent handling, and stability. The bike's balance and predictable handling make it highly capable, especially in cornering and high-speed maneuvers. The super rigid chassis and sticky tires contribute to its agile and responsive nature, allowing the bike to tip into turns instinctively. The front and rear disc brakes also enhance safety and confidence, with the front brakes loading up nicely due to the front-biased weight distribution. However, some riders may find the seating position aggressive and uncomfortable for long periods, leading to potential back and neck pain, but this can be mitigated with proper riding posture and adjustments[5).

My Journey with R15 V3

amardeep singh | 3 years ago
helpful 1

It was the year 2018, My Bajaj Pulsar had completed 15 years, so I was looking on the net for a new bike. When I saw it for the first time, an arrow of love went across my heart, although it had some shortcomings, in spite of this, I bought it and thought whatever will happen will be seen, the only drawback was only the headlight and riding position. Today is the month of 2021 September and today I am claiming that there is no match for it. I have taken it on the hills, on the highways, and on the rough village roads, but its performance is amazing, although the riding position is so aggressive that it hurts in the back but the performance is such that this thing is forgivable, I do exercise continuously to keep me fit to ride this beast and that's why I am fit because this bike is for the youth and for long running you must be fit as youth to ride it, so today I am also fit because of it, thank you for this. Good mileage, superior performance, looks, good reliable engine make it a clear winner wherever you go. This is my journey with R15 V3.

Best Features: After VVA activation it behave like a superbike and slipper clutch at high speed is just awesome.

Pros: Good mileage, superior performance, outstanding looks, reliable engine

Cons: Head light throw, Aggressive Position
