LighTech Rearset Kit R Version Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11 RJ15 (2006-2016) FTRYA002R

Machined from a solid billet of Ergal 7075-T6 aluminium, the LighTech FTRYA002R R-version rearset kit sets a benchmark for precision engineering on the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11 and RJ15 (2006–2016). Every component is chosen for its contribution to feel and longevity — this is not a cosmetic upgrade, it is a functional one built to the same standard as factory race hardware.

Key Features

• CNC-machined from Ergal 7075-T6 aluminium billet for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
• Up to 3 ball bearings per lever eliminating play for precise, direct gear and brake inputs
• Folding silver footpegs and toepegs to protect against damage in a crash
• Carbon heel guards offering both ergonomic comfort and protective coverage
• Titanium hardware throughout — reducing unsprung weight without sacrificing clamping strength
• Red anodised footpeg carriers for a purposeful, race-derived appearance
• Multiple adjustable positions for height and set-back to suit rider preference and track geometry

Build Quality and Materials

The R designation within the LighTech rearset range signifies the highest specification available. The choice of Ergal 7075-T6 — the same alloy used in aerospace and motorsport structural components — ensures the mounting plates and levers resist deformation under the sustained lateral loads generated during hard braking and cornering. CNC machining from solid billet rather than cast blanks removes porosity and guarantees dimensional consistency across every unit produced.

The three-bearing lever pivot arrangement is a detail that separates the FTRYA002R from budget rearset alternatives. Where single-bush pivots develop slop over time and heat cycles, triple ball bearings maintain zero backlash throughout the life of the product. The result is shift and brake lever action that remains crisp whether you are lapping a track on a warm afternoon or commuting in cold, damp conditions.

Carbon heel guards add a layer of practical protection while keeping the overall assembly light. Titanium fasteners replace every steel bolt that would otherwise add unnecessary mass and risk corrosion. The red anodised carriers are machined to the same tolerance as the structural parts — the colour is not a coating applied after the fact but an anodised finish integral to the aluminium surface.

Performance and Adjustability

Adjustable height and rearward offset allow the rider to dial in a position that matches an aggressive track crouch or a slightly more relaxed road-sport posture. Compatibility with the LighTech UP and DOWN support bracket RFTR244 extends the range of adjustment further, making the FTRYA002R a serious option for riders who move between road and circuit use and need flexibility without compromise. All individual components are also available separately, so the kit can be rebuilt or upgraded without replacing the entire assembly.

Fitment and Compatibility

The FTRYA002R is designed and manufactured specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R6 in the following model variants:

• Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11 (2006–2007)
• Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ15 (2008–2016)

Compatible with LighTech UP and DOWN support RFTR244. Mounting hardware is included in the delivery. All individual components are available separately from LighTech.
