DescriptionThe whole story▼
Precise, confident fork action underpins every good ride, and the K-Tech SBS-009 slide bush kit delivers exactly that for the Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021–2026). Manufactured from hardened steel with a copper underlay and a PTFE-coated contact surface, these bushes dramatically cut friction in the fork legs — so the front end tracks faithfully all day whether you are threading B-roads or dissecting a circuit.
Key Features
- Direct OEM replacement designed exclusively for the Yamaha YZF-R7 (2021–2026) — zero modification required
- Hardened steel construction with copper coating minimises wear and extends service life well beyond standard bushes
- PTFE-coated contact faces reduce friction resistance, improving fork responsiveness and compliance across all riding conditions
- Precise dimensional tolerances (39.70 mm inner diameter, 41.70 mm outer diameter, 20.00 mm height) ensure a secure, rattle-free fit
- Complete kit — two slide bushes supplied for a full fork rebuild in a single order
Performance on the Road and Track
The YZF-R7 rewards smooth, progressive suspension inputs, and worn or high-friction fork bushes are the first thing to blunt that feedback. The SBS-009 kit reinstates the fork's original sensitivity by pairing a copper interface layer — which beds in quickly and resists galling — with a low-friction PTFE running surface. The result is a fork that moves without stiction, keeps the tyre in contact with the surface longer, and transmits a cleaner picture of what the road is doing back to your hands. Riders who cover high annual mileage will particularly appreciate how the hard-wearing construction maintains this quality of feel across thousands of kilometres rather than degrading within a single season.
Installation Note
This kit is designed solely for the Yamaha YZF-R7 covering model years 2021 to 2026. Installation requires specialist fork tooling and should be carried out by an authorised K-Tech service centre to ensure correct seating, maximum safety, and optimal suspension performance.
