Accessories for YAMAHA YZF-R1

Yamaha YZF-R1 accessories for road and track

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is a sports bike used for road riding as well as track days. Its forward-leaning riding position puts the emphasis on wind protection and your contact with the controls. The right priorities depend on whether you spend more time on winding roads or working through laps on a circuit.

What riders usually fit to the Yamaha YZF-R1

• Protectors: help limit damage to the areas they cover if the bike falls. For an R1 used on both road and track, they are a practical part of preparation, though no protector can prevent every consequence of a crash.
• Screens: shape the shelter you get from the airflow. On the R1, think about both your tucked position over the tank and the more upright posture you use between corners or on longer road journeys.
• Levers: influence how your fingers meet the brake and clutch controls. Their shape and reach matter during repeated braking on track, as well as when you are moving between gears on a twisting road.
• Footrests: provide support as you move your body through corners. On a road-going R1, leg position over a longer ride deserves attention alongside the freedom to shift your weight during a track session.
• Number plate holders: give the rear of the bike a cleaner appearance. They suit riders who want to personalise the R1’s sporting silhouette for road use without changing the riding position or the feel of the controls.

The YZF-R1 has changed over the years, with versions covering 1998-2008, 2009-2014, 2015-2019 and 2020-2025. A screen, mirror or protector made for one version will not necessarily fit another. Choose your bike’s year on this page to see only the accessories that fit yours.
