Yamaha’s in-house performance parts brand, Genuine
Yamaha Technology Racing (GYTR), has issued a range of race oriented components
for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R6. Previously focusing on Yamaha’s off-road
motorcycles, GYTR now allows R1 and R6 owners to bring their machines up to
race-spec, with parts closely related to Yamaha’s World Superbike and Super
Sports racing motorcycles.
Collaborating with famous names such as Ohlins and
Akrapovic, GYTR also has race components developed by its engineers. For the R1
and R6, GYTR components in racing ECUs, race wiring harnesses, performance
spark plugs and air intakes.
In addition, GYTR also provides camshafts, pistons
and conrods, racing wheels, steering damper, front and rear suspension from
Ohlins, Akrapovic racing exhausts and Gilles frame protection kits.
All GYTR components and part are derived from
Yamaha’s racing efforts, with experience taken from Endurance World
Championship, the Suzuka 8-hours and World Super Sports. This ensures
reliability and quality in every GYTR part.
GYTR performance parts for the Yamaha YZF-R1 and
YZF-R6 will be available from authorised Yamaha distributors from April 2018.
However, for Malaysia, authorised distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia does
not import the YZF-R1 and YZF-R6.
