Yamaha YZF-R6 Fairings (2017-2019)
About the Yamaha YZF-R6 (2017-2019)
The Yamaha YZF-R6 from 2017 to 2019 is the updated middleweight supersport that adopted the R1’s aggressive face, a sharper screen, and refined electronics. It is aimed at riders who want a dedicated 600cc track and canyon tool rather than an everyday commute, and it arrived as the supersport class was shrinking, which made it something of a last hurrah. The 2017 update kept the beloved inline-four character while modernizing the styling and rider aids, so the bike felt current without losing what R6 fans liked. Owners often replace the fairings after a low-side or to restore a scuffed bike to its showroom look.
What makes the 2017-2019 R6 worth having is the blend of modern electronics with a proven, high-revving engine. The quickshifter and the updated front end gave it a sharper edge than the previous model, and the looks finally matched the bigger R1. Because these bikes are ridden hard on track, replacement bodywork is normal, and a fresh set in Team Blue or a race replica returns the bike to its intent. The tight bodywork means correct panels and colour matter for the finished look.
Popular Styles & Liveries
The defining livery is Yamaha’s Team Blue speed-block scheme, with the Yamaha Blue and white combination as the standard showroom finish that most owners keep. The Phantom Black and the limited 60th Anniversary yellow-and-black editions are also sought after, especially by collectors. Track-day riders usually run the blue race replica for a clean, recognizable supersport style that photographs well and ties the bike to Yamaha’s race heritage.
What’s Included in the Kit
A 2017-2019 R6 kit includes the upper fairing, the left and right side panels, the lower belly pan, the tail section, and the front fender, plus the inner panels around the engine. Some sets add a windscreen and tank cover, and the panels are colour-matched across the set. The 2017+ nose is unique to this body, so the kit is moulded specifically to the later front and mounting points, not the earlier model.
Painted vs Unpainted
Most 2017-2019 R6 owners pick pre-painted Team Blue or race-replica kits for a fast, consistent finish, since the multi-colour graphics are difficult to paint by hand and easy to get wrong. Unpainted primer is the better call for a custom track number board or a one-off colour, because it lets a painter start from a consistent base. Both share the same mouldings and bolt straight on, so the decision is about finish rather than fit.
The practical view is that pre-painted saves the time and risk of a DIY job for the factory look, while unpainted pays off only if you truly need a custom livery. Track riders who change graphics often may prefer unpainted they can repaint, but most owners are better served by a finished set they can fit the same afternoon and forget about.
Fitment & Installation
These fairings are moulded for the 2017-2019 R6 body and do not fit the 2008-2016 model. They use pre-drilled OEM mounting points for direct replacement, so once you have the right year the install is straightforward. Plan an afternoon for the install given the number of panels, and dry-fit before final tightening to confirm alignment, especially around the headlight and the belly pan where gaps show.
