When every gram and every second counts on track, LighTech's autoclave-cured carbon chain guard for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M delivers the kind of weight saving and structural integrity that racing demands — wrapped in a high-gloss finish that makes the engineering as visible as the performance it supports.
Key Features
- Precision fitment for Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M, chassis codes RN32, RN49 and RN65, covering model years 2015 to 2026
- Autoclave-manufactured carbon fibre construction — lighter than the OEM cover and substantially more rigid under race conditions
- High-gloss carbon weave finish delivers authentic motorsport aesthetics without the weight penalty of painted plastic
- Effective protection for the chain run and rider area against debris, spray and road contamination
- Straightforward installation using the supplied fixings or silicone adhesive points — no fabrication required
- Low maintenance surface — clean with a pH-neutral product to preserve the resin and weave for the long term
Racing Performance & Build Quality
LighTech engineer this chain guard with the same autoclave process used in MotoGP and World Superbike programmes. The result is a component that behaves consistently under the thermal and mechanical stresses of track use — where OEM plastic covers can flex, discolour or crack. The reduction in unsprung and rotating-adjacent mass, though incremental, is exactly the philosophy that defines a well-built track-day or race machine: remove weight from every component that allows it.
The high-gloss lacquer over the carbon weave is not merely decorative. It seals the outer plies against moisture ingress, which would otherwise degrade the matrix resin over time. It also holds up to chain lube overspray and the cleaning cycles that come with regular track use.
Road & Track Use
Whether the R1 is a dedicated circuit weapon or a fast road bike with occasional track outings, this chain guard integrates without compromise. On the road it keeps the rider's boot and leg cleaner on wet days; on track it trims weight and signals a commitment to quality that extends across the entire machine. Either way, the part pulls no visual attention away from the R1's existing carbon programme — it adds to it.
