The 35.00 mm diameter body houses a 14.00 mm shaft, giving a rigid, precise action that translates directly into improved traction and chassis control. The 48.00 mm stroke and 160.00 N spring rate have been selected specifically for the YZF-R3 platform, working in concert with the 46-150 series spring to provide a balanced, responsive ride on both smooth circuits and uneven road surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn overall length of 276.00 mm with a tolerance window of -4 mm to +6 mm and 3.00 mm of RCU adjustment range gives the suspension tuner meaningful scope to dial in ride height without resorting to aftermarket linkage components. The upper eye mount measures 35.00 mm wide with a 12.00 mm bolt diameter; the lower eye mount is 60.00 mm wide with a 12.00 mm bolt diameter — both machined for an exact, rattle-free fit in the standard YZF-R3 mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetting Up for Maximum Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 16 clicks of rebound adjustment and 10 mm of preload adjustment provide a meaningful tuning envelope for track days and club racing alike. Start with the baseline settings recommended by K-Tech for the R3, then fine-tune rebound to control chassis pitch under braking and corner exit. Preload adjustment allows the sag to be set correctly for rider weight, which has a direct impact on steering geometry and front-to-rear balance. Installation must be carried out by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre — specialist tools and expertise are required to ensure full performance and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K-Tech RAZOR-R LITE shock absorber part number 287SD-015-270-005 is a direct-fit replacement for the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R3 — all variants, model years 2015 to 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e287SD-015-270-005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46-150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e276.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-4 mm \/ +6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160.00 N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.00 bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye, 35.00 mm width, 12.00 mm bolt diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye, 60.00 mm width, 12.00 mm bolt diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRebound clicks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRCU adjustment range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody diameter (RCPU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaft diameter (RCPU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168844898570,"sku":"287SD-015-270-005","price":608.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/NEWR3DAMPER.png?v=1780817323","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-razor-r-lite-shock-absorber-yamaha-yzf-r3-287sd-015-270-005","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
