The India-spec bike's list covers the basics well, but it misses a few accessories that would suit a bike like the R15. A short rear fender, for instance, would sharpen the look of the R15's tail, something Indian owners often chase through aftermarket parts. A lowering kit would also help shorter riders, given the R15's 815 mm seat height, which is the same in both countries.
India-spec Yamaha R15 Accessories
Sure, there are plenty of aftermarket racing stands available in India, but having an official one would’ve been more satisfying. It’s not really a deal-breaking miss, though.
More importantly, the quickshifter is where the Indonesia-spec bike shines. By offering as an accessory, it lets the riders choose whichever colour they want for the bike and then add the quickshifter later. On the other hand, the India-spec R15 locks quickshifter behind specific colour variants.

If we had to pick the ones that should come to India, our choices would be the short rear fender, lowering kit and racing stand.
How is the Yamaha R15 V4 different in India and Indonesia?
R15 V4 is nearly identical in both countries. Both use the 155cc liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch, a Deltabox frame, upside-down forks and dual-channel ABS. Traction control and Track/Street modes are also part of the package in both markets. The differences are only in the output figures and weights. That’s probably because of the emission norms, which often have an impact on both performance and weight. Also, the India-spec Yamaha R15 V4 can run on E20 fuel unlike the Indonesian bike.
