If smooth, precise fork action matters to you, the quality of the bushings inside that fork leg is where it starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with a copper coating for outstanding resistance to wear and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces dramatically reduce friction, delivering noticeably smoother fork travel and more precise front-end feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to exact OEM dimensions — 41.00 mm inner diameter, 45.00 mm outer diameter, 12.00 mm height, 2.00 mm wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect, precise fitment for the Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015–2018) with no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes two bushings — everything needed to refresh both fork legs in a single purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GBS-005 uses a hardened steel core that withstands the sustained side-loading a fork bushing endures through cornering, braking and road imperfections. The copper intermediate layer provides an additional barrier against corrosion and helps the PTFE outer surface bond durably through repeated fork cycles. That PTFE coating is the critical detail: by minimising metal-to-metal contact, it keeps stiction low across the full range of fork travel — the difference is most apparent in low-speed, small-amplitude movements like corner entry and trail-braking where a sticky fork hurts confidence most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bushings are designed exclusively for the Yamaha YZF-R3 produced between 2015 and 2018. They are not a universal part. Installation requires fork disassembly and the appropriate workshop tooling; K-Tech recommends fitting by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct assembly and sustained fork performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 41.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter: 45.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 12.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall thickness: 2.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: hardened steel with copper coating and PTFE-coated contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 2 bushings per kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: GBS-005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015–2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168845357322,"sku":"GBS-005","price":15.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/GBSKIT_2ed9b5d5-6cb3-490f-8dd0-df4beb262ff0.png?v=1780817343","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-fork-slider-bush-kit-yamaha-yzf-r3-gbs-005","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
