RNBRAD Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Actually you need to go to a Honda dealership cause Yamaha deals only with Mikuni carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Do they use Parts Unlimited as a supplier? If so then they can get them, although you better know exactly what you need, cuz most of the people working the parts counter don't know anything.

My dealership sucks though. I buy oil from them, thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 my yama dealer stocks keihen jets i just thought it was a funny reply 463549[/snapback] I went to my dealer to get bigger pilots for stock carbs once. They sold me pilots for after market Kehin carbs. I actually had to go back twice with the stock pilot in my hand and practically grab the guys head and shove it down to the parts counter to get him to see the difference. Buying shit online kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLBILL Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 It could be worse: "You got jets in your carb? Wow. That thing must be fast!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've never had much success getting jets at a dealership. Usually they get out the box and let me find the ones I want myself. All stores are like that anymore most people will try to sell you something and know nothing about it, which I usually research most things before I buy so it's fun to see what they know.

yammerhammer98 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I went to my local Suzuki dealer last year to get the parts to replace my streetbike's chain and sprockets. The kid behind the parts counter: a. Didn't know what a chain breaker was. b. Didn't know that streetbikes come from the factory with a continuous chain. c. Couldn't help me convert my oddball-size factory stock setup to a common size (532 to 530). d. After I looked up everything for him, he tried to sell me a non O-ring master link for my O-ring chain. When I called him on that, he told me to just use the O-rings off my old master link! Duh, I didn't have an old master link, remember? Even if I did, that wouldn't work anyway, since the link wouldn't fit. After I got all the information I needed, I went home and ordered everything from Dennis Kirk. And dealerships wonder why they can't compete with the online vendors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 i have had the same experiance and would like to say that its probaly because the dealer is too cheap to hire a good partsman. they hire kids for 6 bucks a hr and throw them behind the counter with no training and say theres the books parts are in the back get after it.im sure anyone would agree if you find a parts guy that knows his shit he is very helpfull but you get what you pay for.

chris642 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 funniest thing i have yet to hear at my local dealership was when some guy asked if he should get a slip on or a bolt on for his streetbike. Cant forget the time i was there looking at a banshee(before i bought mine) and a salesman tried to intrest me in a 400ex saying "you can modify the 400 way more than a banshee".
