Yoshimura R7 Upgrades Official Press Releases

R7 Swingarm Pivot Kit

CHINO, CA – December 21, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Optimizing the Yamaha R7’s chassis for the increased speeds and lean angles of racing is extremely important, millimeters count. Our Swingarm Pivot Kit gets the Yamaha R7 pointed in the right direction and helps keep it there giving the rider confidence even in turns where the grip is marginal.

By flipping the two pivot inserts the racers can increase or decrease by 1.5mm. That may not seam like a lot but the changes are dramatic, enough to make the R7 feel like the podium contender it is! When combined with our Suspension Link part #400BG137200 the two components enhance the handling of the R7 perfectly!

Product Details:

• 6061-T6 billet aluminum, black anodized with laser etched logo
• Allows swingarm pivot to be +1.5mm or -1.5mm from OEM position to adjust swingarm angle
• Works with Yoshimura Linkage Kit to maximize tire performance, but can be used independently
• Can be used at OEM base position by using OEM bushings
• Retains OEM rearset, kickstand, and fairing mounts
• No net weight increase over OEM
• Developed by Yoshimura on #ProjectR7 piloted by Ari Henning and tested by 2022 MotoAmerica Twins Cup Champion Blake Davis
• Legal for use in MotoAmerica Twins Cup Class

R7 Airbox Kit

CHINO, CA – December 21, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – While testing and developing the Yamaha R7 airbox we found that the stock configuration doesn’t allow near enough near enough air to feed even the stock configuration for racing. Enter the new Yoshimura Airbox Kit. This kit single handedly increases performance on a stock engine giving it huge gains! In fact by just adding our airbox, you can expect 8.5% increase in max HP and 4.8% increase in max torque! Add our AT2 Race Series system and the performance really starts to climb.

Product Details:

• All aluminum construction, black Hard Anodize finish with laser etched logo
• 1/2 lb lighter than OEM airbox assembly
• Direct replacement for OEM airbox (bolt on installation)
• Free-flowing foam filter element made by Uni Filter
• Foam filter is fully serviceable and can be oiled if desired. Any foam filter cleaner or oil can be used
• Replacement filter is available

• Mounts directly to throttle bodies and engine case, no frame mounting

• Fully compatible with Yoshimura Subframe and Linkage Kit
• No tuning required
• Kit comes with all components necessary, no modification needed
• Developed by Yoshimura on #ProjectR7 piloted by Ari Henning and tested by 2022 MotoAmerica Twins Cup Champion Blake Davis
• Legal for use in MotoAmerica Twins Cup Class
