2024 Yamaha R15M Features Explained
From turn-by-turn navigation to music controls and more, here’s what the 2024 R15M has to offer
Yamaha recently updated the R15M with a new colour scheme called ‘Icon Performance’ and along with this, the brand also added some features to the bike. Now the R15M has a lot more to offer, including turn-by-turn navigation. In this article, we will be giving you a detailed breakdown of the features that the Yamaha R15M has to offer.
Revised Console And New Features
The Yamaha R15M features a 5-inch TFT console, with a revised layout, that looks similar to the one on the R1’s console. The console offers smartphone connectivity via Yamaha’s Y-Connect app.
With the 2024 update, the console has seen a change in its layout to accommodate turn-by-turn navigation. Other than this, the console also offers music controls with the 2024 update as well. The rider will be able to change the music track and also control the volume with the 3-button switchgear positioned on the left hand side to navigate the console and its features.
The console also shows phone alerts: call, SMS and email. Other readouts on the display include App connectivity status, which allows the rider to check if the console is connected to the Yamaha Y-Connect App, and phone battery level.
Y-Connect App And Ride Stats
The Y-Connect app also offers important riding stats such as fuel consumption tracking, along with tachometer data. The rider will be able to use both to get a better understanding of his riding style and how it is affecting the bike’s mileage.
The app uses this data to give smart maintenance tips, and malfunction alerts. There’s few other interesting bits like the bike’s last parked location, which makes it easier to find your bike in densely packed parking spaces.
Quick Shifter And Traction Control
The R15M is now one of the most feature-packed bikes in the 150cc segment. It has a lot of features to offer which even some higher capacity bikes lack, especially in Yamaha India’s lineup. The addition of a quickshifter for upshifts, which allows riders to upshift without having to engage the clutch, is one such feature. This makes the R15M quite the potent track machine as well.
Lastly, there’s the traction control system. This adds a layer of safety, reducing the chance of wheelspin when riding over slippery surfaces where there is reduced grip. Overall, these features on the R15M make it stand out quite a bit, but at the same time has made the bike a lot more expensive.
Currently, the R15M is offered in 3 colours and here’s a detailed breakdown of the prices.

Yamaha R15 V4 User Reviews
- r15 V4 ReviewThe r15 v4 has the old punch while handling the BS6 engine with good aerodynamics and aggressive seating position. Its very easy to reach 140+ with default setting while it was not made for the long drive push, we can try the limits where I've driven around 25,000km in the same bike as well. I love it as my soul.Read More2

- Yamaha r15 v4 is a great fully faired sports bikeThe reason i chose this bike was quite a story in short, i was a student who was about get in college and i needed a bike to travel a quite moderate distance. When i was searching for a bike which is highly affordable as well as stylish on the looks and has great features too! Then i came across this masterpiece which was totally worth it. The ride is great so far. But there are few factors to look for if a beginner is going to buy this bike, as a fully fair bike the biggest issue would be comfort on long ride eg. Posture issue because of the aggressive stance fully fair bikes usually have. But for the short to moderate distance its great soo far. And handling also good, and mileage is better than expected. One more thing to consider, if someone lives in a crowded city like area they can this as this bike isn't a street fighter or naked body bike for city specific conditions. I would absolutely recommend this bike to even a beginner who want to get a thrilling ride experience of a fully fair bike at price rang as low as this, mileage also great compared to other similar bikes, great handling too, maintenance is also fairly rated i would say, totally worth it!Read More5 3
