GBRacing's water pump cover for the Yamaha YZF-R3 (2023–2026) puts a race-proven shield between your engine's cooling system and the tarmac, using a 60% glass-fibre nylon composite that absorbs and deflects impact energy without adding unnecessary bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60% glass-fibre nylon construction delivers exceptional rigidity and long-term durability under repeated impact and heat cycling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on fitment with no adhesive required — the cover is secured with standard fasteners and can be removed or replaced in minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-moulded profile designed exclusively for the 2023–2026 Yamaha YZF-R3, ensuring a flush, rattle-free fit against the engine casing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShields the water pump from crash damage, debris and kerb strikes, preventing costly coolant leaks and engine overheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEqually suited to track day, club racing and road use — a practical upgrade for any R3 owner who values mechanical reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGBRacing engineered this cover around a glass-fibre reinforced nylon compound — a material chosen specifically because it combines the toughness needed to survive a slide with the dimensional stability required for a precise housing fit. Unlike soft rubber guards or adhesive-backed pads, this cover is mechanically fastened directly to the engine, so it stays in place under the stresses of a crash rather than peeling away at the critical moment. The fasteners supplied are standard hex-head bolts; note that no Torx tools are required or used — worth confirming before you start the install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack and Road Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a circuit, a water pump failure mid-session means instant retirement and a potentially seized engine. On the road, it means a roadside breakdown and an expensive workshop visit. This GBRacing protector addresses both scenarios with a single, lightweight bolt-on part. The cover is fully compatible with standard and lightly modified YZF-R3 builds and requires no cutting, trimming or specialist fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R3 (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: EC-R3-2023-5-GBR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha YZF-R3 2023–2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: bolt-on, no adhesive required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasteners: standard hex-head bolts (not Torx)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended use: road and track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GBRacing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168807182602,"sku":"EC-R3-2023-5-GBR","price":76.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/YAMAHAR3WATERPUMP.png?v=1780816013","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/gbracing-water-pump-cover-protector-yamaha-yzf-r3-2023-2026","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
