INTRODUCTION
YAMAHA
About India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.

Yamaha made its initial foray into India in


1985, Subsequently, it entered
into a 50:50 joint venture with the Escorts Group in 1996.
However, in August 2001, Yamaha acquired its remaining stake as
well, bringing the Indian operations under its complete control
as a 100% subsidiary of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd, Japan.

India Yamaha Motor operates from its state-of-the-art-


manufacturing units at Fan da bad in Haryana and Surajpur in
Uttar Pradesh and produces motorcycles both for domestic and
export markets. With a strong workforce of 2000 employees, India
Yamaha Motor is highly customer-driven and has a countrywide
network of over 400 dealers.

The company pioneered the volume bike segment with the launch of
its 100 cc 2-stroke motorcycle RX 100. Since then, it has introduced
an entire range of 2-stroke and 4-stroke bikes in India. Presently,
its product portfolio includes Crux (lOOcc), Alba (I06cc) and
Gladiator (125cc).

Founding History
YAMAHA
Paving the Road to Yamaha Motor
Corporation
"J want to carry out trial manufacture of motorcycle engines/' Jt
was from these words spoken by Gcnichi JCawakami (Yamaha
Motor's first president) in 1953, that today's Yamaha Motor Company
was bom.

"Ifyou're going to do something, be the best."

Gcnichi Kawakami

The first Yamaha motorcycle... the YA*1.

Then, in January of 1955 the Hamakita factory of Nippon Gakki


was built and production began on the YA-1. With confidence in
the new direction that Gcnichi was taking, Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd.
was founded on July 1, 1955. Staffed by 274 enthusiastic
employees^ the new motorcycle manufacturer built about 200
units per month.

Gcnichi JCauakami's history with Yamaha was long and rich. He


saw the new corporate headquarters in Cypress, California and the
25th Anniversary of Yamaha become a reality in 1980, He also
wratchcd bike #20 million roll off the assembly line in 1982, Gcnichi
passed awray on May 25, 2002 yet his vision lives on through the
people and products of Yamaha, throughout the wrorld.

YAMAHA LAUNCHING INDIA'S FIRST SPORTS BJK.E

J recall during KO's riding in RxlOO was a great passion for all
bike lovers. Yamaha name was become a house hold name in most
of the house in India because of one only RxlOO. All young boys
loved that bike and its

melodious sound. But later Yamaha was not able imprint the same
passion with another model though the reputation of Yamaha was
highest among bike lovers who admire the sexy style and
performance of YAMAHA R1 and YAMAHA R6 yet another catchy
name associated with Yamaha was the legendary Valentino Rossi,!
mim

YAMAHA RX. 100

VALENTINO ROSSI

What would the average Indian fan expect from designers like YAMAHA?

They dream nothing less than riding in R1 in the streets of Jndia!


Jts dream for all of us to move with speed of wind in the streets of
Cochin kaloor and Marine Drive ...well this dream seems
distant but what Yamaha can contribute nothing less than what
they promised in latest Auto Expo in New Delhi,,. The launch of
YZE R-15,, Company official says it's the DNA of Rl.

I31ftllff JfflThis will really shake the concept of Indian two wheeler
Market, Yamaha has really initiated the process months back
with the launch of YAMAHA R1 in selected showrooms, J got the
privilege to interact with the distributors of Rl, the confidence levels
are much above they expected but average Jndian youth will not be
able to spend Rs 10,5 lakhs for a bike so the benefit has not extended
to majority.

YAMAHA YZF R 15 will fulfill this dream. Surely, this will be


the first bike to set a bench mark in India, Company officials'
have kept the specification as secret but different rumors are
there, all arc matching with one point that R15 wri 11 be 150 CC,

Years back YAMAHA has launched another outstanding bike in

125 CC segment in Asian markets

YZF-R1 - State-of the ait race technology

The YZF-R1 is a legend of the supersport world, an acclaimed

one-litre performer that's become a motorcycling icon, an all-

powerful World Superbike race-winning machine that's also a

monument to the powrcr of beauty. The Rls performance is

electrifying and yet what makes this

motorcycle truly remarkable is its superbly rider-friendly character

because Yamaha's avant-garde, race-bred technology puts you

Everyone can hold the throttle wide open up the straight, its
how well everything works after you close the go-tube that will
make the biggest difference to howr competitive your lap is.
With the Rls slipper clutch metering the amount of back
torque, you get outstanding control and accuracy, and
blisteringly fast corner cntry.The slipper clutch enables
changes in clutch plate pressure when torque force comes to bear
on the crank from the rear wheel, and cxcmplifi cs what is most
remarkable about the R1 engine - not only the amount of power,
but the linearity and superb transitional characteristics of that
powrcr.

As chassis loads continue to escalate it's only logical that the
chassis itself should be a tuneable component. Our engineers

YZF-R1. As a result* chassis response to initial steering inputs is
light and responsive while stability in high-speed turns is
excellent, and overall handling qualities,,, simply brilliant.

MT-QL - Torque like a hammer


YAMAHA
Jt's a genius idea - unite a hi-tech l,670cc V-twin with an

aluminium sports frame and cutting-edge suspension and brakes -

and you've got a sports riding revolution. There is nothing like

the MT-01; a massive engine that produces huge torque for

hammer-blow acceleration, a sports chassis that knifes through the

turns, a pulsating exhaust note that's total aural ecstasy and

monumental styling that'll stop the traffic.

4Ps of Marketing

Marketing is an ongoing process of planning and executing the


marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion often referred
to as the 4 Ps) for products, services or ideas to create exchange
between individuals and organizations.

Marketing tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes


advertising, distribution and selling, Jt is also concerned with
anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, which arc often
discovered through market research.

Essentially, marketing is the process of creating or directing an


organization to be successful in selling a product or service that
people not only desire, but arc willing to buy.

Therefore good marketing must be able to create a "proposition"


or set of benefits for the end customer that delivers value
through products or services.

Four Ps

Jn the early l%0s. Professor Neil Borden at Harvard Business Sebool


identified a number of company performance actions that can
influence the consumer decision to purchase goods or services,
Borden suggested that all those actions of the company
represented a "Marketing Mix'\ Professor E. Jerome McCarthy, also
at the Harvard Business School in the early 1960s, suggested that the
Marketing Mix contained 4 elements: product, price, place and
promotion,

Jn popular usage, "marketing" is the promotion of products,


especially advertising and branding. However, in professional usage
the term has a wider meaning which recognizes that marketing is
customer-centered. Products arc often developed to meet the desires
of groups of customers or even, in some cases, for specific
customers, tf. Jerome McCarthy divided marketing into four general
sets of activities. His typology has become so universally recognized
that his four activity sets, the Four Ps, have passed into the language.

The four Ps arc:


Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

Product: The product aspects of marketing deal with the


specifications
of the actual goods or services, and how it relates to the end-
user's
needs and wants. The scope of a product generally
includes
supporting elements such as warranties, guarantees, and
support.
Pricing: This refers to the process of setting a price for a
product,
including discounts. The price need not be monetary - it can
simply be what is exchanged for the product or services,
c,g, time, energy, psychology or attention,
Promotion: This includes advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and
personal
selling, branding and refers to the various methods of
promoting the
product, brand, or company,
Placement (or distribution): refers to howr the product gets to
the
customer; for example, point of sale placement or retailing.
This fourth P has also sometimes been called Place,
referring to the channel by which a product or services is
sold (c,g, online vs, retail), wrhich geographic region or
industry, to which segment (young adults, families,
business people), etc. also referring to howr the environment
in which the product is sold in can affect sales.

These four elements arc often referred to as the marketing mix,[3)


which a marketer can use to craft a marketing plan. The four Ps
model is most useful when marketing lowr value consumer products.
Industrial products, services, high value consumer products require
adjustments to this model. Services marketing must account for the
unique nature of services, industrial or B2B marketing must
account for the long term contractual agreements that arc typical in
supply chain transactions. Relationship marketing attempts to do this by
looking at marketing from a long term relationship perspective
rather than individual transactions.

As a counter to this, Morgan, in Riding the Waves of Change


(Josscy-Bass, 1988), suggests that one of the greatest limitations of
the 4 Ps approach "is that it unconsciously emphasizes the inside-
out view' (looking from the company outwards), whereas the
essence of marketing should be the outside in approach.
Nevertheless, the 4 Ps offer a memorable and workable guide
to the major categories of marketing activity, as well as a
framework within which these can be used.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RLS LARCH METHODOLOGY


Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

Research may be defined as rlie search for knowledge through an


objective and scientific method of finding solution of problem.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the
research problem. It includes the various steps that are generally
adopted by a researcher in studying problem along with the logic
behind them. During my research I have adopted the following
research design.

Research Design:

> To decide the objective and subjective of the

research. > To determine the most suitable

method of research. > To determine the sources

of data.

> To decide the appropriate research instrument for data

collection. > To determine the suitable sampling design and

sampling size.

> To conduct the field survey for data collection.

> To prepare the research report.

Descriptive Research

This method is undertaken when the researcher is interested in


knowing about the characteristics of certain groups such as
age, sex, education level, income. Interested in knowing the
proportion of unit in a given population who behaved in a
particular way, determining the relationship between two
or more variable.

This method was the most suitable in my research work.

Data collection

There may be different types of information and data, Some


of the information may be unpublished, some is complete
and some is

3
Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

# YAMAHA
incomplete, some is reliable data and some is based, Et is
necessary for flic researcher to know and the information which
is usually employed in marketing research work and the types
of sources from which it is generally collected. The research
problem decides the nature of the sources of data. They may be
primary data and secondary data.

Primary Data

Primary7 data is being collected during the course of asking


questions by performing surveys. Primary data is
obtained either through respondent; either though
questionnaire or through personal interview7. I have collected
the data through both of them.

Secondary Data:

Are the data already available in the form of print material,


website, journals etc, i have used some Magazines, Newspapers,
Websites and course material for that purpose.

Research Instrument:

I have used the structured questionnaire in my research process


which has carefully designed keeping the entire objective in
mind. Most of the questions in my questionnaires were closed
ended in nature.

Sampling plan:

The process of collecting observation from the elements of a


large population may be expensive, time consuming and
difficult. It will be cheaper and quicker to collect information
from a sample plan of the population. A sample is a subset of
population through a v alid statistical procedure so that it can
be regarded as representative of the entire population. The
valid statistical procedure of drawing sample from the
population is called sampling. Sampling plan consists of
following elements:-
Sample units:
3
Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

My sample units were direct dealers + sub-dealers + service


centre and customers so it is clear that sampling unite are
nothing but variable to be studied.
Sample Frame:

The entire list which contains the sample unit is known


as sample frame; In this case my sample frame was Delhi
city.

Sample size:

The large sample is more accurate the results would be but


practically it is not feasible to survey the entire target
population or even the substantial portion of it. In this
project, being aware of the time and cost constraints, sample
size was 2 direct dealers including 27 sub dealers and
customers.

Sample method:

In my research process I have used Non probability7


sampling, which involves purposive or deliberate selection
of particular units of a sample.

Contact method:

Personal interview is that in which an interviewer obtains


information from interviewee by meeting face to face. The
methods of collecting information through personal
interviews are usually carried out in a structured way.

Field survey:

After carefully choosing the way I have started the survey for
accuracy7 of the data I picked my sampling unit from some
parts of the city, and then went on to analysis and report making
part.

siLZLiki hayabusa

Suzuki introduced the sportbike Suzuki GSX1300R, popularly


known as the Hayabusa, in 1999. Since its inception the Suzuki
Hayabusa wras widely regarded as the fastest production
motorcycle in the world until major Japanese motorcycle
manufacturers voluntarily imposed speed regulators in
their bikes.

The Hayabusa derives its name from the Japanese term for the
Peregrine f alcon, the fastest creature on the planet with speeds in
excess of 300 km/h in its hunting dive. The Hayabusa's 4-stroke,
four-cylinder liquid-coo led 1299cc engine enables it to generate an
enormous peak power of 175 bhp at 9800 rpm and reach from
0-100 km/h in three seconds flat.

The Hayabusa's roaring success prompted other motorcycle


manufacturers to come up with similar speed merchants like the
BMW K1200S and the
Kawasaki ZX-14R.

With the Kawasaki ZX12R Ninja, Kawasaki plunged into the
high-
performance sportbike war raging among the Japanese
motorcycle
manufacturers. The Ninja's liquid-coo led, i 199cc DOHC, 16-valve
4-
cylindcr engine generates a peak power of 178 blip at 10500
rpm.

The Kawrasaki Ninja's revolutionary a 11-aluminium monocoquc


frame and cast steering swing arm pivot areas realise an extremely
stiff structure and contiibutc to the bike's superb high-speed
stability and superspoit handling performance.

The ZX12R's wind-tunnel designed fairing was developed with


help from Kawasaki's aircraft division and the redesigned upper
cowrl has a shorter nose for improved aerodynamics and a
sportier look. In honour of an agreement reached among
Japanese manufacturers, starting with 2001 models, Kawasaki
introduced speed limiters in the ZX-12R to reduce the
bike's top speed to 300 km/h.

Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

The CBR1100XX was the culmination of Honda's ambitious


effort to produce the ultimate superbike with a breathtaking
performance. The unique design of the Blackbird facilitates
excellent aerodynamics by achieving a small frontal area and one
of the lowest effective coefficients of drag in motorcycling* while
ensuring a remarkably high level of wind protection and
rider comfort.

The CBR's liquid-cooled, 16-valve DDHC inline-four


cylinder ll37cc engine generates a peak power of 153 bhp at
10000 rpm. On the braking front, Honda's revolutionary Linked
Braking System (LBS), first used in the 1993 CBR1000F and
completely revised on the 19% ST 1100, simultaneously
engages both front and rear brakes when cither the front
brake lever or rear brake pedal is
used.

The CBR's dual-spar diamond-con figuration aluminum frame


features a triple-box-section extruded aluminum swingarm that
offers exceptional rigidity without excessive size and weight. The
swingarm is supported by a standard Honda Pro-Link rear
suspension system which features an
H.M.A.S. rear
damper.

Summary and conclusion - R15

Yamaha YZF R15 is the first model for the Indian market
designed in the true supersport image and featuring a high-level
balance of enjoyable running performance on winding roads.
Packed full of state-of-the-art technologies, the new YZF-R15
boasts performance worthy of a supersport model and a body
design that evokes the image of the YZF-R series and gives visual
expression to the quality of its ride. The YZF R15 is powered by
149,See Fuel injected liquid cooled engine that will be producing
an almost impossible 17bhp with maximum torque of 15 Nm at
7500rpm; which makes it like the most powerful bike under 200cc
range and has a 6-
speed Transmission, Yamaha is showcasing its potential for India
with some
real performance.

it is based on totally race technology with which MotoGP


bikes runs, technology with which R1 is built, ft has India's first
150cc 4 valve engine with forged pistons, Delta box frame & 6s peed
gear box, ft's overall length is 1995mm, overall width is 670mm
and its wheels base is 1290mm. Since
6
Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

sporty YZF R15 is shorter too and its height is just 1070mm,
YZF R15 features F 80/90 -17 inches tyres in the front and 100/80-
17 inches tyres in the rear. Both the tyres are tubeless.

Design

The "R Design: This characteristic of motorcycles designed by


YAMAHA as represented by the R series reflects the philosophy
mnning through these models expressing performance visually,

f or example, YZF-R6 shows a strong body line that springs up in


a single line from the rear axle to the pivot and then to the head pipe.
This is a visual expression of the straight shape of the Deltabox
frame. These elements arc a visual expression of "frame rigidity,'
Viewed from the side, the shape created by the side panel and
the upper surface of the tank creates an impression of the center
of gravity shifting to the front tire. This is a visual representation
of how the front tire grips the road in its sporty running
performance. Needless to say, YZF-Rl, with its athletic build, is
also a visual expression of performance, A characteristic of the R
series is that, when you view the machine, you get a sense of its
concept and performance.

This philosophy has been fully transmitted to YZF-R15. An


important point to note is that this motorcycle is not a sealed-
down version of YZF-Rl or YZF Rb, YZF-Rl5s design is based
on having an excellent engine cooling method.

The shape of the cowling around the radiator area was determined so
that the shapes of the air intake area and the rear outlet area where
the air is scooped out arc optimized to improve radiator efficiency.
As for the outlet area, the mid-cowl area was designed using
sculpturing 3D methods to create a three dimensional shape with a
sense of volume. This resulted in an outlet area through which air
is directed outwards with minimal resistance. We were able to
present the new R series also in terms of design, and we have been
able to maximize the performance of the liquid cooled engine, which
will be a first for the Indian market.

When viewed from the front, it gives a sense of volume that


seems well beyond its I50cc displacement. This docs not
simply mean that it is voluminous, but that it is grounded in
the Ait of Engineering which transforms function into art.

Engine

Y2F-R15 is equipped with this all-aluminum cylinder called the


DiASil Cylinder and a forged piston, the same type of piston used
in YAMAHA's supersport bikes. The fact that both the piston and
cylinder of YZF-R15 arc a 11-aluminum ensures excellent heat
dissipation, eliminates he at-induced engine power loss, and helps
improve fuel efficiency. The DiASil Cylinder is given a special
surface treatment to prevent oil evaporation from the cylinder's
surface and improve oil consumption. The cylinder also has
excellent hardness and is considerably resistant to wear
compared to conventional iron sleeves.

Additionally, the piston is made in a forging process, the optimum


way of achieving lightweight designs.The reciprocating mass with
the forged piston is approximately 20% less ( according to Yamaha
test) than with an engine of the same displacement fitted with a
conventional cast aluminum piston. Resulting in an invigorating
feeling wrhcn revving up. Conventional pistons arc typically made in
a casting process wrhcrc molten aluminum is cast in a mold.
YAMAHA developed its proprietary controlled forging technology"
in 1997, which enables mass production of forged aluminum pistons,
t hese pistons have been used in sport models such as the R
series. The same manufacturing process was used to develop YZF-
R15. Forged pistons retain the excellent strength of aluminum alloys
because the mctallurgic matrix of aluminum is not affected during
the fabrication process. Therefore, the
piston can be made lighter and
thinner.

Chassis
YZF-R15 is equipped with a linked type monocross suspension that
delivers a comfortable ride and a cushioning performance that
is less prone to bottoming out. Jn particular, it reduces annoying
sinking" when riding tandem. The linked mono cross suspension
consists of a link mechanism sandwiched between the rear ami and
cushion unit to create changes in the lever ratio based on the lever
effect. When the shock absorber is almost fully extended, the lever
ratio is high and therefore the spring is soft, and the
damper works softly as wrcll.

As the shock absorber strokes in, the lever ratio gradually decreases
and the spring rate increases. Eventually, wrhcn it is nearly fully
stroked in, the lever ratio becomes small and the spring becomes hard
and strong. The damper
Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

also becomes hard. By making changes to the lever ratio in this


way, we were able to achieve soft riding comfort as wrcll as
excellent damping under intense load conditions. The optimization
of the frame and rear arm rigidity of the Deltabox Frame
combined with the effects of the linked type monocross
suspension achieve good riding comfort, agile handling, and
turliability, hardly ever causing bottoming out.

Fuel

Efficiency

Jn order to maximize the efficiency of the fuel injector, which


injects the optimum amount of fuel for different amounts of
intake air, YZF-R15 is equipped w ith a large 3-liter air cleaner. The
duct area of the intake duct w as designed optimally to optimize the
tlowr of intake air. Additionally, the use of a 4-valve combustion
chamber (a combustion chamber with 2 intake and exhaust valves
each) has allowed designers to layout the spark plug at the center
of the combustion chamber for better flame propagation. This
also increases the total valve area relative to the 2-valve chambers
for improved intake exhaust efficiency (volumetric efficiency),
YZF-R15 is fitted with a hemispherical 4-valve combustion
chamber, a configuration that allow's intake and exhaust valves to
be laid out in the smallest size possible.

Summery and conclusion - Rl, MT01

I could start telling you wrhat a great motorcycle the Rl is, but
well, you could just read any review' as everyone seems to have
come to the same conclusion anyway. But I can tell you according to
my research.

For starters, it's quite comfortable on longer rides. A lot of people


complain about getting tired w'rists on an extreme machine like this,
but as long as you don't lean on the clip-oncs too much and ride on
nice twisty roads to keep you busy, it's no problem at all,

Jn the city, it's not the ideal bike, but it docs get me around. As long
as you can get past the lines of cars (which isn't that hard with a
small motorcycle) and you can keep on moving, it's ok. (Well, the
problem with not moving is more in the protective clothing J'm
always wearing when riding my Rl, which can be quite hot when
you're not moving on a hot summer day).

You should never ride an Rl on a highway if you want to have


fun. Jt's simply impossible to drive remotely close to the speed
limit, so you're
Projectsfbnnba. blogs pvt. com

always looking out for speed camera's and police vehicles ;-)
And most highways don't have many corners anyway.

Of course, the best place to drive an R1 is on a race circuit. We


don't have that many race circuits around here though, so
there aren't a lot of opportunities to ride it there., but the big
possibility of crashing it when racing (in which ease we couldn't
afford a replacement Rl) has kept me from racing it. So wrc just
try to find as many roads as possible wrhich resemble race
circuits, to have a lot of fun on Rl ;-)

And wrhcn you want to take it (relatively) easy, the enormous


torque which the Rl power plant delivers from lowr down makes
sure you don't have to keep the revs up. It's really a quite
comfortable touringbike ;-)
