Malaysian police crack down on Yamaha Y15ZR mods

Ever popular amongst younger Malaysian motorcycle riders is the Yamaha Y15ZR, better known as the “Y Suku.” However, Malaysian police are taking a dim view of illegally modified Y15ZRs, citing the danger it poses to both the rider and the road using public.

This was said by Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) deputy director Datuk Mohd Nadzri Hussain during a press conference after a police operation on commercial vehicles at the Duta toll plaza on the weekend. In a Kosmo.com.my report, JSPT officers have been instructed to focus on this trend of modifying Y15ZRs.

“According to current JPJ rules, any modification that is not approved by JPJ is an offence and can be penalised, including confiscation, regardless if the owner is a well known celebrity or an ordinary citizen,” said Nadzri. “This trend of modifications will be continuously monitored by police as well as JPJ through road blocks to detect illegal modifications,” he said.

“For example, if a motorcycle is sold with a specified top speed of 110 km/h, don’t modify the engine to reach 140 km/h,” Nadzri strongly asserted. “This is against the law and the motorcycle may not be capable of handling the increased top speed, leading to a rise in fatal road accidents,” he continued.

During the six day operation on commercial vehicles, a total of 1,384 summons was issued for a variety of offences committed by commercial drivers. Further to that, 18 drivers aged between 30 and 40 of buses and lorries were held after testing positive for drug use, with Nadzri saying police will not compromise on offences committed by commercial drivers with a strong suggestion for commercial transport companies to conduct constant testing and monitoring of their drivers.

    Heck, the 0 – 140 km/h time is probably 45s after they fit a smaller final sprocket. As compared to 0 – 110 km/h time of 15s with the normal sprocket. No substitute for engine size and power.

    Funny…! No engine modification is needed to hike a 110kmh bike to 140kmh… just need to change a sprocket, replace bigger carb and maybe a performance exhaust. Not even touching the engine…!

      • Blame impatient customers for demanding their delivered food needs to be piping hot or they will give bad score on the riders.

    The root of the problem is manufacturer and local distributor always use marketing gimmick promoting kapchai as the ultimate racing machine whenever there launches new models into the market.

  • “For example, if a motorcycle is sold with a specified top speed of 110 km/h, don’t modify the engine to reach 140 km/h,”

    If this is the case, all modifications regardless of whether it is within the law is considered unsafe…

    HLY should be protesting that this is aimed primarily at the Y15. Selective enforcement is not good enforcement.

    Should limit kapchai at 125 cc..

    More than that is dangerous to hands & shoulder impact during accident. European bike 125 need frame body.

    More why HLY promote kapchai as premier product..?? A big downgrade to nation

    Once motorcycle youngster full with Jipang, then RXZ, TZM, FZ ..look matured and Stylo..

    Al least we have savior modenas bring affordable Pulsar here…thanks.

    World full of kapchai similar to Ho chi Minh City doesn’t make city look better. More in 2025 no more kapchai in big cities in Vietnam..

    Maluapa kids ride modded bicycle at Saujana Impian. When grown up, maluapa teenager ride modded bikes.

    Natural progression, I guess.

    Anyway, motorbike outlets that helped modding and selling mod-parts should be fined and have the mercendize confisticated. Be fair, OK?

      It should be:

      Zaman sekarang kat Malaysia semua mau pakai nYamahai sahaja, lepas tu modified gila babi.
      Mana mau pakai Pondan, Supuki, Modenahas, dsb utk moto kapcai.
      The last great kapchais was the EX5, after that all bungkus, only in Malaysia!
