Built to exact OEM dimensions and beyond in material quality, this kit is the responsible choice whenever fork service or suspension rebuild is on the agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement designed to the exact dimensions of the original Yamaha YZF-R1 M fork guide bushes, eliminating guesswork during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with a copper coating delivers the structural integrity and corrosion resistance demanded by both track and road environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces reduce sliding friction to an absolute minimum, restoring the smooth, precise fork response that makes the R1 M's chassis so capable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced friction means less heat build-up during sustained use, contributing to longer service life and consistent suspension performance lap after lap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of two slide bushes covers the full front fork assembly in a single purchase — no partial-rebuild compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended fitment by an authorised K-Tech service centre ensures the geometry and damping calibration of the Ohlins-based fork remain within safe operating parameters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech's GBS-019 bushes are manufactured from hardened steel, then copper-coated to provide an additional barrier against moisture ingress and corrosion — a genuine concern on a machine used in variable track and road conditions. The inner contact surface carries a PTFE treatment, a material chosen for its exceptionally low coefficient of friction even under the side-loading that the YZF-R1 M's aggressive chassis geometry generates during hard cornering. The result is fork movement that is linear, stiction-free and predictable: exactly what a rider needs when braking deep into a corner at circuit pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.00 mm wall thickness, these bushes sit within the tight tolerance window that the YZF-R1 M's semi-active Ohlins fork demands. Even minor deviations in bush geometry can compromise damping accuracy and, more critically, rider safety — which is why K-Tech specifies professional installation using the correct workshop tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed exclusively for the following models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 M — chassis code RN32 (2015–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 M — chassis code RN49 (2017–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 M — chassis code RN65 (2021–2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant: this kit is not suitable for the standard Yamaha YZF-R1.
