DescriptionThe whole story▼

Engineered for the track and developed using FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis, the IMA Special Parts Racing top yoke transforms the front-end behaviour of the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11/RJ15, delivering the braking stability, corner-entry precision and front-wheel feedback that serious circuit riders demand. Machined from 7075 Ergal aluminium and fastened with titanium hardware, it is a direct upgrade for anyone chasing consistent lap times.

Key Features

  • FEM-calculated construction maximises structural rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum, translating directly into more predictable chassis response under hard braking and through fast direction changes.
  • 7075 Ergal aluminium alloy — one of the highest-strength aluminium grades available — combines exceptional stiffness with ultra-low mass for a genuine performance advantage over stock components.
  • Adjustable offset from 24 mm to 32 mm allows precise geometry tuning to suit different circuits, tyre compounds and rider preferences without swapping parts.
  • Titanium fasteners throughout reduce unsprung and rotating mass while offering outstanding corrosion resistance for a long service life even in wet race-day conditions.
  • Improved braking stability and front-wheel feedback sharpen corner-entry confidence and allow the rider to use the full braking potential of the R6 platform.
  • Available in black, titanium and aluminium finishes to complement your livery or keep the front end looking as purposeful as it performs.

Race-Derived Engineering

The IMA Special Parts Racing top yoke is not a styled aftermarket accessory — it is a geometry component developed with the same finite element methodology used in professional motorsport. By calculating stress distribution across the entire yoke under braking, cornering and combined loads, IMA Special Parts have produced a piece that is stiff exactly where rigidity matters and free of unnecessary material everywhere else. The result is a measurably lighter item than the OEM casting, with none of the compliance that robs the stock yoke of feel at the limit.

On Track and on the Road

The adjustable offset range of 24 mm to 32 mm gives the rider meaningful control over trail and steering weight. Shortening the offset quickens the steering and suits tight, technical circuits; lengthening it adds stability for faster tracks or longer road rides. This level of in-house tunability is typically reserved for purpose-built race machines, and having it on a road-registered R6 represents a significant step forward in chassis versatility. Combined with the improvement in front-wheel feedback, riders report being able to brake later and with greater consistency — the hallmark of a truly effective suspension upgrade.

Fitment & Compatibility

This top yoke is a direct-fit replacement for the following models:

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

Please verify your frame code before ordering. No modifications to the fork legs, stem or steering head are required for installation.
