1. How does this carbon fiber fuel tank cover enhance the Yamaha R6?
This tank cover replaces bulky OEM material with lightweight 100% carbon fiber, reducing overall bike weight and improving handling. It also enhances the R6’s aerodynamic flow and gives the tank a race-ready aesthetic. With UV protection and precise fitment, it’s both functional and stylish. Riders can complement the look with the Yamaha R6 Carbon Fiber Side Panels available at Turn1.
2. Is this fuel tank cover compatible with all R6 model years?
Yes — this Turn1 carbon fiber fuel tank cover is precisely engineered for Yamaha YZF-R6 models from 2017 to 2020. It’s designed as a direct OEM replacement, fitting perfectly over the stock tank without any modifications. Installation can be completed easily using the existing mounting points. For a complete upper section upgrade, pair it with the Yamaha R6 Carbon Fiber Air Intake Covers from Turn1.
3. What makes Turn1’s carbon fiber superior to regular replacements?
Turn1 uses the autoclave process, ensuring the fibers are tightly compacted for maximum strength, minimal weight, and a flawless glossy finish. The twill weave pattern gives it a refined look while maintaining rigidity and high heat resistance. Unlike standard plastic or fiberglass parts, Turn1 carbon fiber resists warping and fading.

4. How durable is the finish on this carbon fiber fuel tank cover?
The glossy UV-coated surface is designed to retain its deep shine for years, even with frequent exposure to sunlight and fuel vapors. It resists scratches and discoloration better than OEM-painted parts. The autoclave process also enhances heat tolerance for long-term reliability. To complete a cohesive setup, add the Yamaha R6 Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger Fender from Turn1.
5. Will this tank cover match other Turn1 carbon fiber R6 parts?
Yes — Turn1 maintains consistent weave direction, texture, and gloss level across all Yamaha R6 carbon fiber parts. Whether it’s the front fender, side panels, or belly pan, the finish aligns perfectly for a unified high-performance look. Each piece undergoes strict quality inspection. For a seamless finish, consider pairing it with the Yamaha R6 Carbon Fiber Chain Guard available at Turn1.
