Yamaha YZF-R3 Fairings (2015-2018)
About the Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015-2018)
The Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015-2018) is Yamaha’s 321cc parallel-twin entry sport bike, designed as an approachable, lightweight step into the R-series family. It quickly became a favorite for new riders, commuting, and racing classes because it is forgiving yet genuinely fun. The 2015-2018 bodywork carries the family sport styling with a twin-headlight front that differs from the single-light 2019-on update. For owners, the R3’s fairing is smaller than a litre bike’s but still multi-panel, and a drop can crack the upper or side pieces that are easy to replace as a set.
Popular Styles & Liveries
The R3 (2015-2018) is most seen in Yamaha race blue and the white-and-red scheme, both of which echo the bigger R bikes. Aftermarket owners often choose gloss black for a clean look or a race-replica blue to match the family identity. Because the R3 is a popular track-school and junior race bike, numbered race schemes are common. The compact panels keep liveries simple and readable, which suits the bike’s role as a first sport bike.
What’s Included in the Kit
A R3 (2015-2018) kit covers the upper fairing, left and right side panels, lower fairing, tail section, and front fender, with a matched windscreen on most listings. The front end is the twin-light design specific to these years. A tank cover may be included to carry the livery across the top. Confirm the exact parts list on the product page, since the 2019-on bike uses different front panels.
Painted vs Unpainted
Most R3 owners ride on the street or run a track school, so pre-painted factory or race blue is the usual choice for a quick, consistent result. Riders racing in junior classes sometimes take unpainted panels to apply race numbers, since the small lower fairing is the part most likely to be touched. Either finish uses the same mould, so fitment is unchanged.
Fitment & Installation
These panels are built to the OEM points of the 2015-2018 R3, pre-drilled for direct replacement. The key note is the 2019 front-end change, so confirm your bike uses the twin-headlight style before ordering this range. Most owners finish the swap in a couple of hours given the compact panel count, and dry-fitting first helps if a tab feels tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit a 2019 or newer R3?
No. The 2019 update changed the front end to a single headlight, so 2015-2018 panels will not align with later bikes.

Production is 10-15 business days, then 15-20 by air or 20-25 by ocean. Tracking follows dispatch.
What is the return window?
