R15 V3 Modifications: Details and Pricing

Even in 2025, the R15 V3 remains one of the iconic models from the Japanese giant Yamaha. Many riders look for information regarding the R15 V3 modifications.

Let’s look at some of the common yet unique modifications that you can also do to enhance both looks and performance of your favorite motorcycle.

Cosmetic R15 v3 Modifications:

Cosmetic modification refers to the visible modifications of the bike. In the majority of cases, cosmetic modifications are comparatively cheaper as compared to performance modifications. Here are some of the cosmetic modifications that you can do to your R15 V3,

Winglet

Installing a winglet is most probably one of the most common modifications that v3 users do. It enhances the sharpness of your bike and makes it look more stunning than before. Usually, a winglet for an R15 v3 can cost around 1,000 to 1,500 BDT depending on the quality and the material. 

Windshield

The windshield is one of the most practical modifications that you can do. It can help you in many ways. 

• Wind protection: an aftermarket windshield increases wind resistance and can help you survive strong wind blasts. Also, a windshield adds stability as well. 
• Improves Aerodynamics: it helps to deflect air over and around the rider, reducing drag while riding and slightly increasing fuel efficiency as well.

An aftermarket windshield usually costs around 1,000 to 1,500 BDT again depending on the quality.

R6 Mask

Many Yamaha R15 V3 owners install the R6 mask to give their bikes a more aggressive and premium look, resembling the iconic Yamaha R6.

Aesthetically, this might be one of the coolest modifications you can do, but there’s a downside—headlight visibility decreases significantly. The projector setup in most R6 masks isn’t as effective as the stock R15 V3 headlights, making night riding more challenging. To compensate, many riders install additional fog lights for better illumination. An R6 mask will cost you BDT 2,000 to 2,500. 

Seat Cowl

A seat cowl enhances the bike’s sleek, sporty, and race-inspired look, making it resemble a true sports bike. The single-seat setup adds to the aesthetics, giving off a more aggressive appeal. However, the downside is that you won’t be able to carry a pillion. 

A seat cowl is a great option if you’re a solo rider looking to upgrade your bike’s appearance. The cost typically ranges from BDT 2,000 to 2,500.

Tail Tidy and Aftermarket Indicators

Removing the rear mudguard gives the bike a sportier and more muscular look from the rear, enhancing its aggressive appeal. However, the downside is that riding in the rain becomes problematic due to increased water and mud splashes. When you decide to tail tidy your bike by removing the rear mudguard, make sure to add an adjustable number plate holder because it’s often required for legal reasons to have the number plate visible from a certain angle.

To further enhance the aesthetics, many riders install aftermarket LED indicators, which add a premium touch to the bike. The price of these indicators varies, as there are multiple styles and brands available in the market.

Performance R15 v3 Modifications:

Performance modifications focus on improving the bike’s power, speed, and overall riding experience. Unlike cosmetic changes, these upgrades often require a higher budget and technical expertise. Before proceeding with any modifications, it’s crucial to consult an experienced mechanic to ensure proper installation and optimal performance. Let’s explore some performance upgrades you can make to your R15 V3.

Aftermarket Exhaust

An aftermarket exhaust enhances the bike’s performance and aesthetics. Upgrading to a high-quality exhaust system can result in better throttle response, reduced weight, and a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note. Some premium exhausts also improve airflow, leading to slight gains in horsepower and torque.

There are many aftermarket exhausts available, but quality varies significantly. Authentic branded exhausts can cost over BDT 30,000 but provide superior durability, sound tuning, and performance benefits. You can read our article on “the top exhaust brands for motorcycles” for a better idea.

On the other hand, cheaper, locally made replicas might not offer the same level of performance and could even harm the engine in the long run. Investing in a genuine exhaust system ensures both style and functionality while maintaining the bike’s reliability.

Braking System and Clutch

Yamaha’s stock braking system is always good, but if you want to enhance the braking performance slightly, you can buy an aftermarket braking system. Again, multiple brands are available on the market, and depending on the quality, a brake pump and hose pipe will usually cost around BDT 8,000 to 10,000.

Additionally, you can proceed to install a bigger disk in the front. Bigger disk has better heat dissipation, enhanced braking performance along with enhancing looks. An aftermarket disk will cost you around 5,000 to 8,000 BDT again depending on brands.

For those looking to improve clutch performance, installing an aftermarket hydraulic clutch can provide smoother operation and reduced lever effort. A hydraulic clutch system usually costs around BDT 6,000, while a standard aftermarket clutch line is available for BDT 2,000 to 3,000. 

Spark Plug and Air Filter

A quality spark plug can significantly improve the ignition of your motorcycle, leading to better power output and fuel efficiency. Renowned brands like NGK, Bosch, Denso, and Brisk are trusted for producing high-performance spark plugs. Upgrading to an aftermarket spark plug from one of these brands can ensure smoother rides, enhanced acceleration, and longer engine life. Read our article on “Spark Plugs” to get a better idea about them. 

For air filters, BMC Racing Air Filters are a popular choice among riders looking to boost engine performance. These filters are not only reusable, but they also provide better airflow, leading to improved throttle response and efficiency. A BMC Racing Air Filter typically costs around BDT 6,000 to 8,000, but the investment is worth it for those seeking maximum performance.

Additional Modifications

There are several mods that you can do to enhance aesthetics and performance. For example, installing an aftermarket ECU is like the ultimate mod which allows you to unlock the full potential of your motorcycle and give you more accessibility than ever before. 

However, it’s important to remember that while modifications can boost your bike’s performance, they may also reduce the longevity and lifespan of your vehicle. Additionally, modifications can sometimes lead to decreased fuel efficiency and, depending on your location, potential legal issues if they do not comply with local regulations. Always consult with an expert before making modifications to ensure you’re enhancing your bike safely and legally.
