Precision-engineered from hardened steel with copper and PTFE coatings, the K-Tech GBS-005 fork slide bushing kit sets the standard for front fork rebuilds on the Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11/RJ15. Where standard bushings wear and introduce vague, unresponsive handling, this kit restores factory-tight tolerances and goes a step further — delivering a friction surface that outperforms the original in both feel and longevity.
Key Features
- Hardened steel construction with copper bonding layer for outstanding structural integrity and corrosion resistance
- PTFE-coated contact surfaces reduce sliding friction for precise, responsive fork action and improved chassis stability
- Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions — inner diameter 41.00 mm, outer diameter 45.00 mm, height 12.00 mm, wall thickness 2.00 mm
- Direct replacement for factory bushings — no machining or modification required
- Supplied as a complete two-bushing set covering both fork legs in a single purchase
Build Quality and Materials
The GBS-005 kit is the result of K-Tech's rigorous suspension engineering programme. The bushing substrate is hardened steel, chosen for its ability to maintain dimensional accuracy under the cyclical loads imposed by serious road and track riding. The copper intermediate layer bonds the PTFE-impregnated bearing surface to the steel core, ensuring the coating remains intact even after sustained high-mileage use. This three-layer construction is precisely what separates a K-Tech bushing from economy alternatives: wear rates are measurably lower, and the fork's response remains consistent throughout the service interval rather than degrading gradually as a softer bushing deforms.
Performance on Road and Track
The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a chassis-focused machine, and its 41 mm fork is central to the precise steering the platform is known for. Worn or stiction-prone bushings blunt that precision — initial turn-in slows, mid-corner feedback becomes muted, and braking stability suffers. Fitting the GBS-005 kit reinstates the close clearances between inner and outer fork tubes that the original design demands. The PTFE-coated surface reduces stiction during the fork's initial compression stroke, which is particularly noticeable in corner entry and during light braking, where sensitive, progressive fork movement makes the difference between confidence and hesitation.
Fitment and Compatibility
These bushings are engineered specifically for the following models and will not fit other variants:
- Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ11 — 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
- Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ15 — 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
Installation requires specialist fork tools and a working knowledge of telescopic fork service procedures. K-Tech recommends fitment by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure optimal performance and safety.
