2020 Yamaha MT15 BS6 specs leak – Power reduced

Unlike the case of the scooters, the Japanese two-wheeler brand did not share anything important about the Yamaha MT15 such as its price details and updated specifications. Now, the peak power figure has been leaked ahead of the company’s official announcement.

The Yamaha MT15 is essentially the naked version of the popular faired motorcycle, Yamaha R15 V3. Even though both motorcycles share the same power plant (with similar output), components such as sprocket, swingarm, etc. on either product are slightly different to suit two individual riding characteristics.

The main highlight of both motorcycles is Yamaha’s Deltabox chassis frame. As per reports, the BS6 Yamaha MT15 gets a reworked secondary reduction gear to improve initial acceleration. In the current BS4 avatar, the Yamaha MT-15 makes 19bhp and 15Nm of torque, from its 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation). A 6-speed gearbox does the transmission duties via a slipper clutch.

Yamaha MT-15 discontinued in India; New Version Launch Soon


2022-yamaha-mt15-launch-soon-india-768x432.jpg

fter R15, Yamaha will be introducing significant changes to its popular hyper-naked MT15 bike. Updated MT15 is expected to be launched soon, possibly next month. Ahead of that, the existing MT15 has been discontinued. From selling an average of 5k units per month, sales of MT15 dropped to just 17 units in Jan 2022. This is likely in anticipation of the updated variant.

It has been reported that production of current version of the bike has been stopped and the company has started manufacturing the updated MT15. Yamaha operates three plants in India, located in Faridabad (Haryana), Surajpur (Uttar Pradesh) and Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu). These cater to both domestic and international markets.
