Fuel Tap for Yamaha YZF-R3: Folding Type
This fuel tap is built for the Yamaha YZF-R3 and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the folding type programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: packing that arrived crushed at the port, or reorders that did not match the approved sample. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts
- Material — Brass is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual Yamaha YZF-R3 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — powder coating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.
Processes used on this line
- cold forging
- assembly line testing
- gravity casting

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The folding type build is the one most often ordered for mountain roads. Riders also fit it for farm use, long-distance touring, weekend riding, roadside assistance.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ECE R90 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
