Fastest_Yamaha_R15

Joel, a race engineer from Bangalore has done a performance build on his Yamaha R15. The modifications are for the street and not a race and thus Joel has modified his bike keeping reliability, economy and rideability in mind. The bike hits a top speed of 140kmph (tested on GPS and Speedgun) with rev-limiter cutting off speeds at 10000rpm). The engine has higher low-end torque than a stock R15 until 5000Rpm and from then on, it gets into the powerband with a stronger pulse. The bike still returns decent fuel efficiency for the power it generates at around 30-35kmpl.
