Getting an update for the Malaysia market is the 2023 Yamaha Y15ZR SE, priced at RM 9,498 recommended retail. Pricing does not include road tax, insurance or registration and stocks of the Y15ZR SE will arrive at all authorised Hong Leong Yamaha Motor dealer showrooms from today. The Y15ZR SE price of RM 9,498 compares against the current model Y15ZR‘s retail of RM 8,998 which sold alongside the SE. New for the SE version of the very popular “Y-Suku” is a new blue colour scheme with new graphics.
Setting the Y15ZR SE apart from the “base”
model Y15ZR is the addition of the aero kit. This comprises of a visor located
on top of the front cowl and air scoops placed on the sides of the front and
rear cowls. No other changes for the Y15ZR with power coming from a
liquid-cooled, SOHC, single-cylinder, 149.7 cc mill putting out a claimed 15.4
PS at 8,500 rpm and 13.8 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. A five-speed gear box with
multi-plate wet clutch and chain final drive gets power to the ground.
Suspension is unchanged as well with
conventional telescopic forks on the front wheel while the rear end is held up
by a preload-adjustable monoshock. Meanwhile, a single hydraulic disc in the
front and rear stops the Y15ZR SE with the 17-inch wheels painted gold are shod
in 90/80 rubber in front and 120/70 at the back. Seat height for the Y15ZR SE
is set at 780 mm while weight is 117 kg, with fuel carried in a 4.2-litre tank.
The 2023 Yamaha Y15ZR SE comes with a two-year or 20,000 km warranty, whichever
comes first, and every purchase gets a gift of a Yamaha brake disc lock worth
RM 100.
