Give your 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1M a more accurate front fork

For model enthusiasts seeking higher fidelity, the Tamiya 12684 Front Fork Set replaces the standard kit components on the 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1M to deliver a closer match to the original machine.

Detailed combination of metal and plastic parts

The set supplies metal and plastic elements that replicate the YZF-R1M fork layout. It includes individual parts such as inner and outer tubes, connectors and end caps to form a complete assembly. Metal components like the reservoir tank and outer tubes are complemented by gold-coloured fork tops for precise visual effect.

Small touches, big difference

Notably, the damper spring is finished in yellow paint rather than the kit's black, giving suspension detail that reads more convincingly at scale and improves overall presentation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: metal and plastic
  • Includes: inner and outer tubes, connectors, end caps
  • Painted damper spring
The kit is engineered to match the Tamiya 1/12 YZF-R1M parts and generally fits as a direct replacement. Minor trimming or careful alignment may be necessary to achieve a seamless installation.
Clean metal surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before applying any paint. Use suitable primers for metal, then topcoat with hobby paints. For a showroom finish, a light clear lacquer helps protect the surface.
Tamiya does not typically supply individual replacement detail-up springs separately. If you damage the painted spring, consider careful repainting or sourcing a similar-size spring from hobby suppliers to match the original look.
