DescriptionThe whole story▼
Dropping an R1M in the paddock costs a fork leg if nothing stands between it and the ground. The WAPYA411 fits front and rear on the R1M, built from an elastic nylon body and an Ergal insert. It is offered in 6 colours: Black, Blue, Gold, Grey, Red, Silver. It is cheaper than the smallest part it is there to save on a R1M.
Key Features
- The coloured inner part of the WAPYA411 is sold separately in pairs for custom combinations
- LighTech part number WAPYA411, catalogued for the Yamaha R1M
- Weight kept low where the WAPYA411 hangs furthest from the R1M frame
- Ergal is the alloy family LighTech also uses for its R1M rearsets
- Supplied complete with the hardware the R1M installation needs
- Colour choice does not affect the fit of the WAPYA411 on the R1M
- The WAPYA411 costs less than the smallest part it defends on a R1M
Construction
What touches the ground on the R1M is nylon, and that is deliberate. Behind the nylon is an Ergal insert that carries the load into the axle. The design assumes the WAPYA411 will be used, and makes the used part the cheap one.
Why an Axle Slider Works
The principle is simple and the execution is not: stand proud, give way, stay attached. LighTech's answer on the WAPYA411 is a two-material build: nylon that flexes, Ergal that holds. A scuffed WAPYA411 is renewed at the insert, not at the kit, which is the point.
Compatibility and Installation
This listing covers the Yamaha R1M only; sister models carry their own part numbers. It uses the mounting points the R1M already carries, so nothing is drilled or fabricated.
What Is in the Box
One WAPYA411 box covers both ends of the R1M — there is no separate front or rear part number. A worn WAPYA411 is renewed at the element, not at the kit.
Installation
Allow an unhurried half hour for the WAPYA411 on a R1M the first time. Check the clearance to R1M bodywork once fitted — spacers are included precisely for that. The WAPYA411 comes in 6 finishes — Black, Blue, Gold, Grey, Red, Silver — and the colour makes no difference to the fit on the R1M.
Type Approval
The WAPYA411 is delivered without any type-approval document. For a R1M with a registration plate, the fitted position is worth clarifying in advance. We would rather you asked first than discovered it at the inspection.
