It’s barely reached the showroom floor, but British manufacturer GBRacing has already released a set of secondary engine protectors for Yamaha’s sporty new YZF-R9. This is thanks to the firm’s experience of working with the Ten Kate and GMT94 teams, which are already using GB protection for their racing R9s. The 890cc triple is also used in the MT-09 naked, but GB says the new protection plates are completely redesigned to suit the R9’s racier faired styling. The kit consists of four parts – alternator cover, clutch cover, pulse timing cover and water pump cover – at an SRP of £298.12.
