Hello Spring

I'm in Ontario. With tax fronts were 450.00. I have purchased most of my parts from sight sponsors, much better people to deal with, share the same interest and have been extremely helpful. The fenders have been the only big purchase from the dealer so far. I find the dealers are not very helpful or informed, since they consider a 2007 Banshee a classic and don't see them in much I'm told. I was told by two different dealers that these fenders (red) were no longer available.( only color they showed in stock was the purplish blue)

I used to work for a Yamaha dealer for a short period of time a long time ago. I ended up calling Yamaha directly in Toronto, spoke with a parts logistics specialist. Gave them the vin of bike to pull up all part numbers list for that year banshee (2007). They provided the correct part number for front fenders and confirmed stock in Japan. He gave me the option to order the fender and have it go to my local dealer with a credit card deposit. Which worked out great as the dealer had to stick with Yamaha's retail price and not add on any extra mark up. As for availablity all the stuff I had quoted was available but way over priced. My local dealer has a very limited aftermarket parts for the Banshee. They have nothing in terms of aftermarket a-arms suspension kits, so I'm still on the hunt.

Motosport.com for OEM parts is really good. All prices you pay is to your door including duty and HDS racing ship to Canada they also have a warehouse in Winnipeg, both of these places prices seem ok.

Ya thats more or less what I came across with all the yamaha parts dealers around.

 

When I go in and say I am looking for part .... for an Banshee, they give that blank stair with a urrrggg Im so over worked look, then start with "ok, is that a motox, a sport bike or a atv."

 

And if you want something that involves more than one part number, they just tell you bullsh!t, like they dont got that or that wont work from one year like a 08 and 06 bla bla bla

 

Some times I need a big thing or expensive that, they just laugh at you and say oh your not gona want that.

 

Its sad, kinda makes me wana put money into something else non Yamaha. Honda and kawi suzuki parts are way better service and price.

That sucks. Try logging on to Yamaha web site under parts and accessories section. You can pull up your year bike with all part numbers with the VIN that you can give to your dealer. Or call Yamaha and speak to a parts specialist, they will tell you if parts are available or back ordered
