DescriptionThe whole story▼

When a trackday crash threatens to write off your Yamaha YZF-R1's ignition unit, the GBRacing SBK Ignition Cover Protector stands between you and a costly rebuild. Engineered specifically for race-faired R1 and R1M models spanning the RN32, RN49 and RN65 generations (2015–2026), this is the protection solution trusted by club racers and Superbike competitors who cannot afford unplanned downtime.

Key Features

  • SBK-specific fitment: designed exclusively for Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M fitted with race bodywork — not a generic cover adapted to fit.
  • 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon construction delivers exceptional rigidity and impact resistance while keeping mass to a minimum.
  • Bolt-on installation with no adhesives required — fitting and replacement are straightforward, even in a race paddock without specialist tools.
  • Directly shields the ignition unit from crash-impact damage, reducing the risk of an expensive component write-off.
  • Precision-engineered profile follows the engine casing contours of the R1/M for a factory-quality finish on the bike.

Built for the Track

GBRacing developed the SBK variant of this ignition cover protector in direct response to the demands of competitive racing. Where the standard road version accommodates OEM bodywork, the SBK edition is dimensioned to sit flush beneath the tighter clearances of aftermarket and factory race fairings. The 60% glass-fibre nylon compound used throughout the cover is the same material specification GBRacing applies across its full race-engine protection range — a compound chosen for its ability to absorb and dissipate impact energy without shattering, keeping the underlying ignition unit intact even after significant contact with tarmac or barriers.

Installation is handled by the supplied mounting bolts, threading directly into the existing casing locations. There is no need for bonding agents or custom brackets, which means the cover can be swapped between sessions or transferred to a replacement engine without delay. For riders running a dedicated track machine or a converted road-to-race R1, this is the kind of detail that separates a well-prepared motorcycle from one that retires on the first slide.

Fitment & Compatibility

This protector is compatible with the following models:

  • Yamaha YZF-R1 RN32 (2015–2016)
  • Yamaha YZF-R1M RN32 (2015–2016)
  • Yamaha YZF-R1 RN49 (2017–2020)

  • Yamaha YZF-R1 RN65 (2021–2026)
