Generic Parts to order...My dealer is gone!

[S.S.Viper]

Hey Guys...

My dealer switched to Doo...so now my closets Yamaha dealership is
pretty far away..
I'm looking for basic nuts and bolts(Phazer/Viper) and am curious
if there are any retailers on here that are Canadian?
I'm looking thru Port Yamaha's Micro Fich and am happy to order thru them just thought I'd see if any dealers on here were closer?..

cheers and thanks

Port is hard to beat with pricing that is probably better than your old dealer in Canada.

Yeah I noticed that as well...Do they(Port Yamaha) monitor these threads or should I send them a legit email(1 bolt doesn't seem to appear on the fiche)? Thanks Swede!

Just send them an email. What bolt is that, that doesn't appear on the fiche?
When I order at Rich motorsport, I copy/paste the part #'s as well so there cannot be any confusion.

I would send a e-mail or post in their vendor forum.Its hard to catch/read every post.

not very cheap when it cost $25 to ship a $2 bushing

Port Yamaha is absolutely EXCELLENT to deal with! Everytime I need parts, I get the right parts and a great price and I get them FAST.

the trick is to order enough parts that shipping would not be an issue.I always order things at least once a year and have a list of things I need and spare parts to boot that are worth buying ahead of time..still beats the heck out of my local dealer prices....bushings..I have enough of each bushing to do both sleds usually..wouldn't order just one.You know you will need them sooner or later.If you are going to keep older sleds,you have to start saving up parts ahead of time.In the last few years I know what parts will be needed just from putting on the miles.Certain bolts,brackets,parts that may wear faster I always have extra sitting here.As the year goes and summer comes I make a list as I go thru things on the sleds..come fall time I place an order.If I am in a real rush for a part that is a must..I will go to my dealer..pay more..but it is here in a week.
Some of my spare parts include all bushings,skid bolts,clutch parts and bushings,rollers,weights,rivets,fuel pump,CDI,stator,servo motor,extra PV's,extra cables.extra hyfax,extra wheels,extra bearings,extra water pump gasket,extra o ring head gaskets,extra thermostat,extra rings,extra carb parts/jets/screws,extra gaskets,lots of extra belts,etc.It never ends.Some things I purchase when there is a sale also or a free shipping promo.I just want to be on top of things incase something happens and not wait weeks on end for a part.Sure if you order a $2.00 bolt,,your shipping could be deadly...but I also purchase parts used when I see them from guys on here and have more spare parts.Who said this sport was cheap...lol
