Sourceing parts
« on: 02 May 2012, 01:16:03 pm »
I am looking for replacement bolts for the rear caliper. AJSuttons at http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk/spares/modelImage.asp?modelID=9023 can get them at £6 per bolt. Expensive, but they are specialist parts. OK, I can live with that, but then they want £19.52 for courier or £13.80 Royal Mail. WTF!

Does anyone know somewhere else I can get parts for the Fazer.

You might be able to get them through your local Yamaha bike dealer. If you get a part number you might even be able to get them from any Yamaha equipment seller, I got a quote from an outboard motor shop when I was looking for official gear.
 
They are only bolts though so no doubt someone will know of an adequate replacement, not me though.

you could order a heap of other stuff, like service parts, at the same time to make the postage more worthwhile.

It is not the price of the parts that bothers me, it is taking the piss with P&P. £20 delivery might not seem much on a £200 order, but it is rediculous for a £5 part.
