In other news, India Yamaha Motor aims to provide Bluetooth connectivity option in more products including the Yamaha R15, MT-15 and others. The company currently offers this feature with select models including the FZS-Fi, FZS-Fi Vintage, the newly launched Yamaha FZ-X, and the updated Fascino 125 and Ray ZR. Although Yamaha has not revealed a timeline, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear the announcement in this regard in the near future.
Also, based on a new Type Approval document, India Yamaha Motor is likely to add a dual-channel ABS in the MT-15. It’s to be noted that the Yamaha R15 v3.0 already has a dual-channel ABS. Hence, adding the same to the MT-15 shouldn’t be a big hassle for the Japanese company. The updated system will improve the braking performance by providing better stability and control at all speeds without any wheel lockups and skidding even in slippery conditions.
