The K-Tech GBS-003 fork slide bush kit is a direct, exact-fit replacement for the YZF-R3 (2019–2026), manufactured from hardened steel with copper and PTFE coatings that dramatically reduce friction, resist corrosion, and restore the fork's original responsive feel — all at a price that makes proper maintenance straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact fitment for the Yamaha YZF-R3 (2019–2026) — no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with copper underlayer for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces minimise friction and deliver a smoother, more consistent fork action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects against premature wear on both the bush and fork tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a complete two-piece set covering both fork legs in a single purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Replacing Fork Slide Bushes Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn fork slide bushes are one of the most common and most overlooked causes of vague, notchy front-end feel. As the bushes degrade, the fork internals develop play, leading to imprecise steering feedback and uneven damping response. For a rider using the YZF-R3 day to day, fresh K-Tech GBS-003 bushes restore the light, linear fork action the bike was designed to deliver — a noticeable improvement on every road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech manufactures the GBS-003 from hardened steel with a copper intermediate coating that bonds the PTFE surface layer securely and provides a secondary barrier against moisture ingress. The PTFE face is the key to the kit's low-friction performance: it allows the fork slider to move with minimal resistance under load, reducing the stiction that causes the front end to feel wooden or abrupt over small bumps. The result is a fork that tracks more faithfully on uneven surfaces and responds more immediately to rider inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bushes are designed exclusively for the following model:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R3 — model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are not compatible with any other Yamaha model or year range.
