DescriptionThe whole story▼
When a low-side drops your Yamaha YZF-R3, the water pump housing is one of the first casualties — and coolant loss on track or road means an immediate DNF or a very expensive recovery. The GBRacing Water Pump Cover Protector is engineered specifically to absorb and deflect that impact, keeping the pump housing intact and your ride going. Manufactured from 60% glass-fibre nylon, this cover delivers genuine crash protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
Key Features
- 60% glass-fibre nylon construction withstands extreme impact forces and resists cracking under sustained stress
- Bolted fitment — not adhesive — means secure attachment, repeatable installation, and quick removal for servicing
- Direct bolt-on replacement using the existing mounting points; no drilling, cutting or fabrication required
- Shields the water pump from crash damage, preventing costly coolant leaks and pump replacement
- Complementary design integrates cleanly with the YZF-R3's aggressive, sport-focused aesthetic
- Mounting hardware included — everything needed for installation is in the box
Safety & Build Quality
GBRacing has built its reputation supplying engine case covers and protectors to club racers, championship teams and everyday road riders who demand parts that genuinely perform under crash conditions. The glass-fibre nylon compound used here is the same material philosophy the brand applies across its race-proven cover range — a thermoplastic matrix reinforced to a level far beyond standard plastics. The result is a protector that can take a sliding impact without shattering, keeping shrapnel away from the engine and the ground away from your pump seal.
The bolted mounting system deserves particular attention: adhesive-backed protectors can peel under heat, vibration or fuel contamination, rendering them useless precisely when you need them most. By using proper fasteners — included in the kit — GBRacing ensures the cover stays exactly where it was installed, lap after lap or mile after mile. Note that the mounting bolts are not Torx-headed; a standard tool set is all that is required.
Track & Road Use
Whether you are commuting, touring or pushing the YZF-R3 on a track day, this protector belongs on the bike. On the road it guards against debris strikes and low-speed parking incidents. On track it is a straightforward risk-management decision: a single getoff without this cover can write off the water pump and end the session; with it fitted, you stand a far better chance of returning to the pits, making repairs, and going back out.
