ACCESSORIES

Yamaha brake guard £111

» Brake lever guards will be compulsory at all MSV trackdays from January 2021 so R1M owners will be needing one of these. Seems like overkill to us.

Afam chain and sprocket kit £168

» With one fewer teeth on the front sprocket and one more on the rear, this will tame the tall first gear. Money well spent.

Yamaha tankbag £112

» It’s well-nigh impossible to bungee anything to the tail unit so a decent tankbag is worth having. This one clips onto a mount on the filler cap.

A tablet £50-200

» The R1M’S datalogging apps will run on your phone, but the graphs are so small you can barely see how slow you are. IOS and Android both work fine.
