DescriptionThe whole story▼
Nothing on an R1 looks more like an afterthought than the original fluid reservoir. Enter the OBT007: a 16 cm³ billet reservoir at 106 g, built to replace the original box. It is offered in 8 anodised finishes; the list is in the technical data. The listing covers the R1 across 23 model years (2004 to 2026).
Key Features
- 8 colours, all at the same price
- Finish changes the look of the R1, not the fit
- The mounting bracket is a separate LighTech item — see the note below
- LighTech part number OBT007, listed for the Yamaha R1
- Universal by design: LighTech builds one reservoir, not one per Yamaha model
- Laser-engraved LighTech logo on the shell
Installation
The OBT007 replaces an existing part on the R1 rather than adding one. Brake fluid strips paint — cover the R1 tank and fairing before you open anything. Re-check the fasteners after the first ride.
Fitment
LighTech catalogues the OBT007 for the R1 (2004 to 2026). It is a universal article in LighTech's own description; the R1 is the application, not the design brief.
Looks and Maintenance at Once
Brake fluid absorbs water, which is why the level and the colour are worth seeing. The OBT007 comes with a rubber gasket under the cap, which is what keeps fluid where it belongs. At 106 g it weighs about what the plastic original does.
What Is in the Box
One reservoir per box, with its sealing gasket. Spares are listed under their own numbers rather than bundled.
Order This With It
The OBT007 arrives as a tank and a cap, nothing else. Three mounts exist — OBT003, OBT008 and OBT009 — and which suits the R1 depends on where you want the tank. Order the OBT007 together with a bracket and the R1 installation is complete.
Looking After It
Brake fluid attacks paint and anodising alike, so wipe spills off the R1 immediately. Otherwise it is a fit-and-forget item on the R1.
Approval Status
Anything in the hydraulic circuit of an R1 is safety-relevant by definition. No approval paperwork comes with the OBT007 and we do not present it as approved. Road use on the R1 means two steps: clarify it beforehand, test it afterwards.
