DescriptionThe whole story▼
The GBRacing ignition cover protector is engineered to keep your Yamaha YZF-R6 on track and out of the workshop. Whether you are pushing hard on a circuit day or navigating the unexpected on the road, this bolt-on guard shields the vulnerable ignition cover from crash damage — sparing you the cost and downtime of an engine case repair.
Key Features
- Constructed from 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon, delivering exceptional rigidity and impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight.
- Bolt-on fitment with supplied mounting hardware — no adhesives, no guesswork, and straightforward to remove or replace when needed.
- Designed to absorb and disperse impact energy at the ignition cover, one of the most exposed and expensive areas to repair on the R6 engine casing.
- Purpose-designed profile follows the contours of the YZF-R6 engine casing for a clean, integrated appearance that looks factory-fit.
- Covers the full 2006–2026 Yamaha YZF-R6 production run, making it the definitive long-fitment solution for R6 owners across all generations.
Built for Protection Where It Matters
GBRacing has built its reputation supplying engine case covers and protectors to club racers, trackday regulars and road riders who refuse to leave reliability to chance. The 60% glass-fibre nylon compound used here is the same category of material found across GBRacing's race-proven cover range — stiff enough to resist deformation under impact yet with sufficient flex to avoid shattering on a hard strike. The ignition cover sits low on the right-hand side of the R6 engine, making it one of the first components to contact tarmac in a lowside. A cracked or punctured ignition cover means an instant oil loss and a recovery truck; this protector removes that scenario from the equation.
Installation
The protector arrives with its mounting bolts included. Installation is a straightforward bolt-on process that requires no drilling, cutting, or bonding agents. The cover locates directly onto the existing ignition cover using the supplied fasteners, keeping the job within reach of any rider with a basic socket set. Removal is equally simple, which is practical for those who need to access the ignition cover for servicing.
Fitment & Compatibility
This protector is a direct fit for the Yamaha YZF-R6 across all model years from 2006 to 2026, covering every generation of the platform without modification.
