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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad \u0026amp; Track Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chain guard is designed exclusively for the following Yamaha models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 — chassis RN32 (2015-2017), RN49 (2018-2020), RN65 (2021-2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R1M — chassis RN32 (2015-2017), RN49 (2018-2020), RN65 (2021-2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLighTech\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCARY5012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutoclave carbon fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-gloss clear coat over carbon weave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha YZF-R1 \/ R1M — RN32, RN49, RN65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect OEM replacement; fixings or silicone adhesive points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LighTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168712679690,"sku":"CARY5012","price":100.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/CARY5012.png?v=1780812064","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/lightech-carbon-chain-guard-yamaha-yzf-r1-m-rn32-rn49-rn65-cary5012","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
