Yamaha XSR155 Engine And Performance
The XSR155 is a 155cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, SOHC, four-valve engine with fuel injection. The maximum power output is 18.14hp at 10,000rpm and peak torque is 14.2Nm at 7,500rpm.
The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, so the motorcycle can have a wider range of ratios for different riding conditions. Yamaha also provides the bike with a wet, multiple-disc clutch and assist and slipper clutch.
The combination of a high-revving 155cc engine with six-speed transmission gives the XSR155 the performance, but the practicality expected from a street motorcycle.
Chassis, Suspension And Brakes
Yamaha XSR155 uses the company’s Deltabox frame, which is characteristic of performance-oriented motorcycles of Yamaha. The chassis is paired with an upside-down telescopic fork in front and link-type swingarm in the rear.
The brakes at both ends are disc brakes to brake the motorcycle. The front and rear disc covers the motorcycle are 282mm front and 220mm rear and a dual-channel ABS is provided for additional braking assistance.
The XSR155 rides on tubeless tyres with a 100/80-17 tyre on the front and a wider 140/70R-17 tyre on the rear. This fits the road-oriented character of the motorcycle and helps to define its stance.
Yamaha XSR155 Features
Although retro-styled, the XSR155 comes with a few modern features. The motorcycle has an LED headlamp and brake and tail light as well. This gives the bike a modern lighting setup but it retains the classic round-headlamp shape.
The motorcycle has a fully digital instrument cluster, as well. The display provides important information such as speed, engine rpm and fuel level.
Another interesting feature is Yamaha’s Y-Connect smartphone connectivity system, which works through Bluetooth. The motorcycle also gets a traction control system, adding an electronic safety feature to its equipment list.
Such technologies distinguish the XSR155 from motorcycles with retro styling only.
Yamaha XSR155 Dimensions And Practicality
Yamaha XSR155 measures 2,005mm in length, 805mm in width and 1,080mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 1,325mm and a seat height of 810mm.
The motorcycle has a 10-litre fuel tank, which is adequate for a motorcycle in this displacement category. As a rider, the 810mm seat height is of very big concern and motorcycle owners want a comfortable riding position as well as a sporty roadster stance.
Overall, the Yamaha XSR155 combines a neo-retro design with a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, six-speed transmission, a high-end chassis and modern electronic features. It’s a combination of styling and technology that makes it a compelling choice for riders who want to take something different from the traditional 150cc motorcycle.
