#189901 BigBoyinMS (User) I'm satisfied never being satisfied. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1660 Alternative parts, lube, etc. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I notice that some have a hard time finding some maintenance items we need for our bikes... OR some are marked up so high that we don't WANT to get them from Yamaha. I've worked in auto parts for the last 30 years so I used that experience to find a few alternatives. They are parts that will fit and are easier to find or they are less expensive than factory but they are all available at either Nissan,Toyota or Honda car dealers. It's only a few numbers now but if I find more I'll add to them. (I also have a Venture and a VStar so some of this applies to them) Parts List .   Logged     2006 Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #189908 Tealw1 (User) If ya can't wear it, it ain't worth eatin Expert Boarder Posts: 599 Re:Alternative parts, lube, etc. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   That's a pretty good start BigBoy   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access. #190003 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want.

If I can find it I'll post it again. The filters that I had on the list were both the long and short Nissan oil filters. They spec out the same as the Yamaha filter including the bypass pressure. When I was working at a Nissan dealer that's what I used. Part#'s 15208-31U00 and 15208-9E000. Honda car filters work too but I don't use them because they are made by Honeywell (Fram).   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/20 16:45 By BigBoyinMS.   2006 Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232103 Cappdawg (User) Eric Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:Alternative parts, lube, etc. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Yeah, i bought the supertech filter from walmart, like $3.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
