    Anyone know if the triples on the 17+ R6 are the same as the 08-16? I know they have a different part number on them but wanted to check. I did see someone posted that the 3rd gen top will work on the 17 but want to make sure.

    there were a few publications that said Yamaha reduced the stiffness of the lower triple to offset the increased stiffness of the new forks/axle.

    The 17+ uses the same forks as the R1, so larger diameter, therefor the triple will not work with the 08-16 forks.

    I have not tried but have been told by a few that the top will work just fine.
