Front Fork for Yamaha YZF-R3: Lightweight Version
This front fork 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 lightweight version programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench, or a specification nobody had written down. 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 — Ceramic Composite 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 — anodising 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
- sintering
- CNC machining
- shot blasting
- die casting

Fitment notes
Check whether the mounting points on your market version match the catalogue drawing — regional variants are the usual cause of a wrong first order.
