The engine performance was largely similar, still having a six-speed transmission and a linked type single shock suspension added on the back.[5]

An unfaired, or streetfighter/naked bike, variation of the YZF-R15 v2.0, called the M-Slaz (also called Xabre in Indonesia; TFX150 in the Philippines and Vietnam)[6], is made in Thailand,[7] Indonesia and Vietnam.
