Yamaha released a specialized accessory price list for the YZF-R15 V4 and R15M on September 23, 2021. The lineup includes crash protection, ergonomic adjustments, and utility add-ons, with prices ranging from Rs 190 for a tank pad to Rs 1,650 for frame sliders, all compatible across both bike variants.
The fourth-generation YZF-R15 enters the market with a focus on both aesthetics and durability. Yamaha “upped the ante” with this launch, introducing revised sleeker styling and segment first features. To protect the bike’s fairings and fragile components, Yamaha has introduced a suite of official accessories designed to mitigate the cost of accidental damage and improve rider comfort.
Crash Protection and Component Safety
Given the vulnerability of the handlebar and fairings during a fall, the accessory list prioritizes impact protection. These are described as perhaps the most important add-on
because they are meant to protect the bike’s fairing in the event of a crash.
Complementing these are lever guards costing Rs 900. Because the handlebar is usually the first point of contact with the ground during a fall, clutch and brake levers can break easily; these guards are intended to prevent that outcome. According to reporting from Zigwheels, this part is specifically designed to prevent deep potholes or tall speedbreakers from damaging the cat-con (catalytic converter).
Ergonomic Upgrades and Utility Add-ons
Beyond safety, the accessory list addresses rider interface and convenience. These allow the rider to set the adjustment screw to match their hand size for the best clutch and brake feel. However, it is noted that the website does not specify whether the Rs 950 price is for a single lever or the complete set.
Utility is handled via a powered USB socket installed near the handlebar, which costs Rs 750. This charger is intended to support smartphones that deplete their batteries quite quickly, particularly when the rider is using the device for music or directions while on the move.
Cosmetic Preservation and Pricing
The most affordable items in the catalog focus on preserving the bike’s finish and seat integrity. A tank pad, the cheapest offering at Rs 190, protects the paint from rubbing against a jacket zipper or belt buckle. Additionally, a seat cover priced at Rs 490 provides extra cushioning for better comfort and protects the original stock seat underneath from wearing out over time with constant use.
| Accessory | Price (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Frame Slider | 1,650 |
| Adjustable Levers | 950 |
| Lever Guard | 900 |
| USB Charger | 750 |
| Skid Plate | 550 |
| Seat Cover | 490 |
| Tank Pad | 190 |
These accessories are compatible with both the standard R15 V4 and the R15M, as the two variants are not mechanically different. This compatibility allows owners across the different trim levels to standardize their protection and utility setups.
The cost of these add-ons sits atop the base vehicle pricing. According to Autocar India, the standard R15 is priced at Rs 1.67 lakh, while the newly introduced R15M variant costs Rs 1.77 lakh. The limited-edition MotoGP variant is the most expensive of the three, priced at Rs 1.79 lakh.
