$649
www.yoshimura-rd.com
Yoshimura's swingarm-pivot kit is aimed
at track riders and racers who are looking
to optimize the chassis of the Yamaha
YZF-R7 for increased lean angles. The kit
flips the two pivot inserts, which allows
the swingarm angle to be increased or
decreased 1.5mm from the OEM position.
The components are made from 6061-T6
billet aluminum and are finished with
black anodizing and a laser-etched
Yoshimura logo. The kit is compatible
with the OEM rearset, kickstand and
fairing mounts, and it is legal for use in
MotoAmerica Twins Cup class.
