Need to get some stuff for my upcoming service!I got the bike 6 months ago and the vendor told me it had reently had a service - I’ve only done about 1800 miles since but was wanting to do a service myself so I can get to know the bike a bit more - at least this way I’ll DEFINATELY know the service has been done.

Those 1800 miles were all mostly in rush hour london traffic so I reckon the air filter is well dirty by now.

I need:

Oil and oil filter

Air filter

Front pads

Spark plugs

Seen lots of sites on the internet I could use but wanted a recommendation so I know im getting a good deal and they’re not going to run off with my credit card details!!!:stuck_out_tongue:

Any recomendations out there greatly appreciated - cheers everyone!PS - Las time i got everything from Chaz BIkes but found them a bit pricey!!!

Always found Wemoto to be good for price and service…:smiley:

Wemoto

HTH

Ginger Parts!

Ooops you got this reply in your PM too!!

For a moment i thought you were taking the p**s and you’d sent me a link to a photo of Ginger’s privates!!

Will give them a call later on - fingers crossed they’ve heard of CBR’s!!

Slocums in Wilesden

have you tried david silver spares? They are a honda parts specialist and quite reasonable.

I buy 90% of my stuff from ebay, as long as you know exactly what you want it comes up cheaper nearly every time and I dont have to go to the local suzuki dealer and be tempted to buy a new bike:D

never mind dan:D

10

I get my stuff from my local (Aldershot) Honda agent and he stamps my service book as if they had serviced it.

11

eBay mostly

but you can also check out Hein Gericke - they have shops in North and South London

and search for online shops that do your bike’s parts, there’s plenty

local dealers are the last resort for me

12

if ya in north london i use protyre on the a10 for brake pads n other bits n pieces

13

I was disappointed when I phoned Protyre on friday for a price on a pair of new tyres. They are £50 dearer than Essential:w00t:I get most of my service items from either wemoto or m&P:)

14

WOW - got me work cut out here. My phone bill is gonna be huge this month!

I’ll give them all a try over the next few days.

Thanks everyone!:slight_smile:

O.K. For somethings you are stuck with OEM spares but for things like brake pads, filters, plugs, sprockets, chains there is a whole world of better products for about the same price or the same products at better prices on the net.

I’d rather trust a set of EBC pads than some east German stuff in a BMW box.

And don’t start me on Aprilia spares prices and “availability”.

If your gonna keep the bike for a while, might be worth considering K&N air filter. Don’t come cheap but you only buy the air filter once. (And for some silly reason, they are a selling point when you come to change bikes.) Any decent oil filter manufacturers products are as good as the OEM. I can think of 5 or 6 spark plug manufacturers that I would trust to get it right.

I’ve got “bargain pack” deals from suppliers before by buying everything from them including the oil I couldn’t get from Halfords.

Like they say, you pays your money…

and those suppliers are?..

i use SGT Motorcycles in south wimbledon for alot of parts!

0208 540 0889

:smiley:

ebay all the way, or for expensive parts www.motomummy.com in the usa, even paying the custom charges it works out sooooooo much cheaper for me so far!

My bike is sponsered by ebay, from the twill carbon to the rear sets. In fact 80% is from ebay!

19

For those of you still interested, I managed to get all this for £83.79 DELIVERED!!

2xPair of sintered fornt pads

1 Air filter

1 Oil Filter

5L Semi 10W40

Nothing fancy - all standard aftermarket products.

Replacement copper washer for sump plug

Didnt end up getting the plugs as I found out mine has Iridium ones and they hardly ever need changing apparently - plus they said that new ones would cost between £19 and £25 EACH!!!

Got the air filter and copper washer from David Silver Spares

and the rest (£60 delivered) from BikeBitz UK on ebay

Thanks everyone.
