Detail Upgrade for Yamaha YZR-M1 Front Suspension

Keen model builders can refine their 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 using the Tamiya 12636 front fork upgrade set. This kit focuses on authentic metal detailing to better represent the real motorcycle's front end.

Precision Metal Components

The Tamiya 12636 includes an inner fork, outer fork, the fork crown and steering damper parts in metal. Parts are made to match the scale geometry and surface cues of the actual Yamaha YZR-M1.

Build Impressions and Display Benefits

The metal components lend solidity and a premium finish to models kept in cabinets or shown at clubs. Movable steering dampers provide extra realism for posed displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Metal components
  • Compatibility: Designed for Tamiya 14117 Yamaha YZR-M1 model
  • Features: Inner fork, outer fork, fork top, movable steering dampers

Is this detail-up suitable for show builds?

Yes, the metal parts improve realism and surface finish, making the model more suitable for display and judging.

Will the movable dampers affect handling when displayed?

Movable dampers let you set natural steering positions; they do not affect static stability but allow dynamic presentation options.

Should I lacquer the metal for protection?

A clear lacquer can protect bare metal surfaces from tarnish, but mask any joints that need to remain free-moving before finishing.
