My Yamaha R15 V3 Project Bike: Phase 1 Build (New ECU, Race Camshaft and Much More)

- “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”
I am actually a Stannis Baratheon fan, but this one dialogue from the Game of Thrones fits this Yamaha R15 V3 build pretty well.
To get a bit more power from this 155cc bike, I had to go beyond the wall (outside India), completely clueless about what to do or where to even begin. Okay, enough of the silly GoT references.
With performance build options extremely limited in India, I started exploring Thailand and Indonesia. Parts arranged (detailed in the last video), my good friends at Speedmonks Performance Centre in Gurgaon agreed to build the bike for me.
First, the easy part. Fitting the Kawahara racing coil was a piece of cake as well as the aRacer spark plug and SKA air filter. The new 49 tooth rear sprocket (stock is 48), and the new Asahi golden chain was simple enough too.
And then we started opening up the engine (Just the top cover from where we can access the camshaft and valve springs). The BRT Camshaft that I bought from Indonesia did not come with a bearing - you apparently have to buy it separately - and so we had to press fit a bearing onto the new cam.
Thankfully, Atul (Technical Head at Speedmonks) has extensively worked on the R15 V1 and knows that machine inside out. He had a stock of the R15 bearings lying around and we made use of one.
Some jugaad and a few hours later, we had a camshaft that we could finally use. The new cam has slightly aggressive lobes that will keep the valves open just a fraction longer, resulting in more air and fuel entering the engine.
We decided against opening the head to replace the new, stiffer valve springs as we did not have a new gasket (couldn’t find it in stock at local Yamaha dealers).
Also, to maximise the gains, since we are now thinking of getting a big bore kit (not yet sure of whether to get 62, 65 or 66 mm), it makes sense to open up the engine only once.
So, the valve springs are on hold till this project goes into Phase II.
Time to bring out the big guns then. The Juken ECU. While installing the ECU was a straight-forward affair, connecting it to its supplied software was not.
After struggling with it for another hour, and unable to find the required drivers (we were using a Windows 10 laptop), we switched to a Windows 7 desktop and it finally connected.
The software looked simple enough, yet is completely new to us.
There are a couple of maps on the ECU, but for now, we are sticking to the one that came pre-loaded on it. It is calibrated to the BRT camshaft, so that is a relief. After testing the bike for a 100-odd kilometres, we will start playing around with different maps, and try and come up with one that I like.
The bike will be tuned on the dyno, and the results will be shared here for all to see.
But how does it ride currently?
Not that different, to be honest.
The low-end has dropped and I wasn’t able to take it past 6,000 RPM since I only rode is some 200 metres in the bylanes.
25 BHP bike? No, most certainly not, right now.
But with the big bore kit, I am certain we will get there, and no, I don’t mean at the crank. I am talking rear wheel figures.
Till then, this bike is a work in progress, and I am learning with each step.
Stannis Baratheon lost his head chasing the Iron Throne (He was the rightful heir, mind you), I just hope I keep mine (No blown pistons, please).
I am going to drop a teaser for the next phase of the build: Upside Down Front Forks from the International model of the R15 V3. Details on my Instagram page: / abhinavbhatt19
Speedmonks, who are working on my bike, can be contacted here: / speedmonks.in
The BRT Juken ECU, BRT Camshaft, Kawahara Racing Coil, ECU tuning cable were bought from IWS Motorsport in Indonesia for about 280 US dollars. Shipping was another 58 US dollars and customs was 42 per cent of 280 dollars. Total cost in INR: 28,000. You can contact IWS Motorsport on their Instagram page: / iwsmotorsport
The detailed break up of all parts that I got from Thailand and Indonesia is here: • 25 BHP Yamaha R15 V3? ...
If you have any doubts, any feedback to share, drop me a comment below and hopefully we can have a discussion over it.
As always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me your valuable time.
Have a nice day. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
We've seen bikers play around with the cosmetics of the bike before and it's quite thrilling to see somone come out and change all that, it'll be a journey for you and us as viewers with the bike you're working with. Can't wait for next Sunday 💙
Thanks, Zain. Sunday I hope to just shoot. An actual video may be some 15 days away.
As far as I know this is the only guy in India who knows what he is doing, or at least tryng to learn the unkown area which many bikers want to learn, but stay away due to its complexity
@@abhinavbhatt Once you get the satisfaction of riding the new horsepower, thats the time the journey for more horses starts, thank you for sharing us your journey
Not sure what I am doing but I do know what I want. There is a vision for sure. Implementation is an entirely different matter. Hehe.
YOU are a true bike lover...genuine and simple....no artificiality
Thanks, Arjun. Means a lot :)
Exactly... Genuine and simple.. ✌️
✌
hello Abhinav Bhatt i'm fikry from indonesia.
i just wanna give you a little advice, dont use racing ecu from BRT with racing ignition coil, because BRT has been researched the ecu by using a standard coil to maximize power of the engine.
and for 25-32 hp inside your engine you better increase it
volumetric efficiency by using high flow big valve cylinder head.
for 58mm piston use 22mm in/19mm ex valve (power is about 25-27 hp @ 12000rpm)
for 58mm piston use 23mm in/20mm ex valve (power is about 28-32hp @ 13000rpm)
for 62mm piston use 24mm in/21mm ex valve
and make sure you have recheck your compression ratio before install those part,
make sure your compression ratio isn't too low or too high
11.6:1 (safe)
14:1 (race use)
Hello Fikry. I will certainly look into it. Thank you so much. Is there a group on Facebook where you can add me an d I can discuss a build?
As a part of bike lover I was also thinking to modify my bike and I was looking for a good adviser please I also like to take some points, how to contact u bro
Piston nya ga natap itu ya om. Keknya Kemsuft nya serem bentuknya
Is the vva still function after modified the head?
BRT is now have fully built kit for yamaha R15 v3.
200cc (62mm bore/66mm stroke), 22/19 valves and porting-polish finished head with race camshaft with higher lift and duration and race valve spring, programmable juken ECU.
you can also get a bigger TB from Indonesia with other brand (BRT haven't produced it yet for R15 as i know they only got for Aerox 155, i might be wrong).
and it's all "ready to hit the road" kit and as they say, it's plug and play.
700-800$ just in case you might want to convert it from rupiah to dollars to get this fully built kit from BRT.
Damn! You're into whole different level of motorcycling eh! Like no one else. Love your content. Keep up man!!
Thanks, buddy.
This bike went from boy to a Man in 20 mins 😎
😂😂😂
This bike was on a legendary level. But now upgraded to God level #respect
🙏
I want this bike on track..
Your gave this bike a Badass character and this bike will reward you for that..
I hope so man.
The things you do isn't everyone's piece of cake. Even if i dont own an r15v3 i watch your series madly enough to be satisfied with the knowledge. You are so great mate. Keep up🥃
Thanks, buddy :)
Excellent progress so far. Good luck mate.
Thanks bro.
Finally i found a guy who isn't a ricer... love this bro.. great job👍🏻
Thanks brother.
This call a true modification
Nice job
Thanks, Anoop :)
I really love that you guys brought this bike to the states
I think the 125cc version of this bike has made it to the States. It has in Europe for sure.
Never been so eager to watch R15 videos before...much love ♥️ and keep going ✌🏻
Thanks, buddy. Hopefully, this build turns out without glitches.
never seen anyone going this deep into modifying their bikes till now :O all we've seen are ECU and filter/exhaust mods but never on the engine! Too good mate. :D
Thanks, Vishnu ✌
that's rare in India, but in South East Asia its much more common
Yeah. That's true.
Am i only the one who finds resemblance of Abhinav's voice to that of Ayushmann Khuranna🙄
😂😂
Loving the work man! Can't wait to see the end work! The RPM meter rised all the way to the end which was crazy!
Thanks Sanjay. The bike can now rev to 16,000 RPM. But I don't want a blown engine so won't cross 13,000.
You deserve more subs man. Awesome video.❣️
That'll probably become the fastest r15 in India
There is a possibility of that.
I agree. Time is the limiting factor though. I actually wanted to send my bike to Chennai to get work done on the engine. And to do track there.
Utkarsh Vashistha , girl?
@@IBelievenevermind didn't quite get you ?
@@sankikhopdi524 he is asking whether you are a girl or boy
Yes sir love the sound.
:)
Dope. Was waiting for this. Hopefully everything goes well!
I hope so too, Sandip.
The only true r15 modification video.
Hey abhinav thanks for sharing your bike modifications with us. As here in Bangladesh there is only a limit of 150cc bikes now I can also do the same things and do share more videos about the experience. Love form me to you
Thanks Nafis, bro.
This guy is serious ... 👍
Oh he is, real gem.
dude that ecu is sick ,the idle and exhuast note is much better and, sounds like a much bigger displacement engine and thanks dude again for making so detailed videos.
Most welcome, Soni.
Wow the exhaust sounds awesome ...can't wait to see these beast on track....
I can't wait either.
Hello again..
I'm in love with Ur blogs.. cuz as I had told earlier that I'm juz sick of the guys buying a v3 and juz pretending that they are owner of Hayabusa.
Tank pad video
Winglet video
Handle grip video..😂😂
And naming them mods...
But here, there is some serious stuff going and that's called a true mod. 👍✌️
Hehe. Thanks, Maanas :)
those r mod too.. but its next level mods to improve bike's performance and engine's power.
spending 1k or 1L that's money not a a thick paper. everyone loves their V3. dont underestimate anyone..abhinav is doing whole different thing thats next level compare to them. cosmetic and for perfomance too..
complement him but dont critisize others. THAT SHOWS BAD SIDE OF A HUMAN.
@@avishek354 hahahha... Absolutely bro.
I don't want to hurt u..😀
That was purely my point of view for Abhinav bhai, Don't wanna trigger anyone else.
Well v3 is a fabulous bike..
I also hv one.
Welcome to the club.👍
You are right, Avishek. The bottomline is we all love bikes and would love to do a lot more but are only restricted by our means. Happy riding.
@@abhinavbhatt thnx👍
This man .. converting this bike to next level ... Am waiting to see when u installing Dual tune ABS in your bike then i ll install .. 😎
I won't be installing ABS. I plan to take this bike to the track, so no ABS for me.
Bhai is thare any chance so that we can install an abs in it .. for me am asking ... Is it possible ??
@@dr.kaliprasadmishra
There another channel with the name DCV, he made a video recently and he has put some great info and has said that it might be possible to put ABS on the older on v3s, check his video...he also covers bits and pieces of Abhinav bhai's projects, you can check that out regrading the question you have.
All the best.
This is something that only Yamaha can clarify.
Yeah
Dude you the MVP !
This is quality content, and the description.. Hats off brother. :)
Thanks, Albin :)
I’m really looking forward to seeing this bike on the dyno and streets can’t wait for the next video!
Next video should be out in a couple of days.
If you really want I wanted to see from where Indian youtuber really appreciate your work
Thank you, Shubham :)
kickass exhaust note!! waiting for the part 2
Lots of detail involved, and we like those details! Thank you!
✌
No words for your R15 v3 mods it's just on another level in India. I'll never seen that much beautiful and powerful R15 v3. It's just an awesome bike and keep it up.👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you, Rohit :)
Great job bro...i have been to thai and seen they have crazy parts for r15..if u remeber i had suggested u tuneboss for ecu they have made r15 which is doing speed upto 195 i think video is thr on maxabout. But very nice work..nice video...put winglets in front
Thanks, Obaid. I don't want my bike to go to such a crazy tune. Reason being the parts failure will be higher then. And I can't keep going to Indonesia or Thailand to get parts. I don't like winglets.
@@abhinavbhatt yes thts true i think tht much speed is too fast for indian roads..but wht evr u have done is good enough for decent power ..keep making good videos all the best bro..
Thanks bro.
Video was awesome..
But the description 😍😍 oh my god
Or end me wo thank you.. god bless you bhai
And haa hindi bolte we bade khatarnak lagte ho (compliment hai ye)
Hahahhaha. Thank you, bhai.
bro pls race with pulsar rs 200 vs your yamaha modified r15v3 let see which one is best ...kindly request
I don't want to do drag videos. But never say never.
Man o man ur description shows depth of effort on detail and openess to sharing knowledge and understanding....It just earned u a subscriber...Keep up sir....Gud going
Thank you, brother. If you are watching my video, I owe it to you to give out full details. The description serves as a measure to plug the gaps I might leave in the videos. Thanks for the sub.
We were missing new content from your channel thanks for uploading. Coz i love to watch content of your video. 👍

Thanks bro :)
I am astonished to see the modification and your knowledge on what is been done. You are the first guy who knows what he is doing on the performance part. That bike sound amazing. People who hear it will just say u have added an exhaust and thats. Behind the scenes and u personally know what it takes to get that exhaust sound. Your work is commendable my friend. Kudos to ur enthusiasm on working on the bike. All the best. Hope to see u soon on BIC.
Thank you, Jitender. This bike is teaching me every single day!

Wow... Congrats bro for your new level of r15
Thanks, Charly.
That's a nice looking bike... Waiting to see the complete project and the results
Thank you. The final project will take months because as soon as I add something, I think of something new to add as well. Hahaha.
I think you're the only one in India to do these videos with such depth. Very Informative. Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks, buddy. I remember our previous exchanges too ✌
Man, you gotta love youtube recommendations.
🙏
These guys are on another level in india !
Wow bhaia glad to see the changes and waiting for the dyno figures.Hope this becomes the fastest R15v3 in the world.Definetly more R15's are gonna visit speed monks after this.
Best wishes ride fast and safe.
Definitely not the world, Aditya. I am not aiming for records. I just want a slightly punchier motor. My goals are not to chase top speed records. I just want a sorted bike to help me learn on a race track.
The video I'm waiting for a long time from an Indian. So good to see how you modifying your bike. Its gonna be the best modified v3 in india.
Thanks, Vishal. We will take it a step further from here.
Some real hard work put in there👍🏻
Yeah man. It has taken more time than what I would have liked too.

Thanks, brother.
Best modification ever😍
Just the beginning.
Wow i like the way the video is taken,love from Malaysia,here in Malaysia,u can find bigger bore r15 v3 very commanly.....good luck for your project
Thanks :)
That is the cleanest workshop i ever seen 😂
Haha. Yeah, and the most premium in NCR.
Bro it was awesome video, your vlog are too informative. Good luck
Love from Mumbai ❤️
Thank you, Aman :)
I had been waiting for this video for so long, Maybe i was the first one who asked you when you will get an ECU, I eagerly wait for your videos and you will always find my comment on all of your video and best you always respond bro. The Description part though Awsome as always. Keep up the good work. Loyal Subscriber.😎😍
Thank you, brother. After I was cheated in Thailand, I had given up on this project and went silent for five months. But friends like you kept on motivating me and here I am again. Cheers
Best service 👍
Auto Vloggers are dime a dozen in India today, people buy GoPro and turn overnight auto experts.
But your channel is a breath of fresh High Octane fuel. only auto vlogger channel I have subscribed to, your opinions are honest, the amazing yet simple idea behind the project i.e using small displacement machines to better your riding skills. People often jump category and think they can handle bigger bikes just because they can buy one. Good to see a passionate rider who has his wits about him and knows the technicalities too. Also good to see people like Mr Atul who know what they are doing.
Icing on the cake are the descriptions.
Kudos bro, waiting for next video.
Thank you, buddy. I think what works in my favour is I am not doing this for money or fame or subscribers. I am just sharing my biking journey. And I am glad to have people at Speedmonks helping me. They are knowledgeable, skilled and passionate. But better still, friends like you keep me motivated to do these little videos. Cheers
Amazing Exhaust
A bit too loud in person though.
Exhaust note soo sweet bro
My ears are still ringing. Too loud for comfort.
Powar & sounds great🐯
I watched hole video without forward. modification and EXSHOUST note was awesome👏✊👍
Thanks buddy.
Exhaust❤️❤️waiting for top speed n a flyby
In time. First, we need to tune it properly.
Sound is amazing
It's too loud in person though.
