A direct bolt-on upgrade that earns its place on both road and track, the LighTech CARY5018 carbon pick-up cover gives your Yamaha YZF-R1 or R1M genuine protection where it matters most — without asking you to compromise on looks or spend a fortune in the process.
Key Features
- Precision fit for Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M, chassis codes RN32, RN49 and RN65, covering the full 2015–2026 model range
- Autoclave-cured carbon fibre construction — lightweight, exceptionally rigid and built to last far longer than the OEM plastic cover it replaces
- High-gloss lacquer finish preserves the natural weave pattern and resists UV fading, keeping the appearance fresh season after season
- Effective day-to-day protection against stone chips, road debris and minor impacts that can damage the sensitive pick-up unit
- Meaningful weight saving over the standard part — a simple swap that trims unsprung mass at no extra effort
- Straightforward installation using the included hardware or silicone adhesive dots, with no modification required
- Wipe-clean surface — a pH-neutral cleaner is all that is needed to keep the carbon looking its best
Built for Daily Use and Track Days Alike
LighTech have been supplying carbon fibre bodywork components to professional racing teams and discerning road riders since the company's founding in Italy. Every piece leaves the autoclave as a finished, ready-to-fit part — no trimming, no fettling. The CARY5018 pick-up cover continues that tradition: the geometry is drawn directly from factory CAD data for the RN32, RN49 and RN65 platforms, so alignment is spot-on first time, every time.
The gloss finish is a practical choice as much as an aesthetic one. The hard lacquer top coat acts as a barrier against petrochemicals, chain lubricant overspray and the general grime that accumulates during everyday riding. Clean it down after a wet commute or a track day and it looks as good as new.
Protection That Justifies Itself Quickly
The pick-up unit on the YZF-R1 family sits in an exposed position and is vulnerable to debris thrown up from the front wheel. Replacing a damaged pick-up sensor is a considerably more expensive exercise than fitting a protective cover from the outset. The CARY5018 is therefore as much a sensible maintenance investment as it is a cosmetic upgrade — a combination that makes it an easy recommendation for any R1 owner who rides regularly, whether that is the daily commute, weekend sport riding or circuit sessions.
Fitment & Compatibility
This pick-up cover is designed and manufactured specifically for the following models:
- Yamaha YZF-R1 — RN32 (2015–2019), RN49 (2020–2023), RN65 (2024–2026)
- Yamaha YZF-R1M — RN32 (2015–2019), RN49 (2020–2023), RN65 (2024–2026)
