That’s good to hear. In the US, our tariffs have gone up, and we lost the $800 de minimis, where nothing was applied as long as it was valued under that amount.

Impex is a legitimate business. I’ve been ordering through them for years, mostly Toyota Land Cruiser parts. They have a slightly weird system where you pay for the parts, then pay the shipping later when the parts come into their warehouse. The shipping estimator is fairly accurate, though. As...

$112 CAD + the ride/duty from Japan. https://en.impex-jp.com/parts/new/search.html?partNo=8GL-15590-00

00536-12 for the bearing. 00338-25 for the O-ring x 2. If no TY vendors can supply, I can, might even have some good condition used pieces.

Ohlins uses a spherical bearing with two o rings in there. Can supply part numbers.

Perhaps a little, but not entirely unorthodox for this application, could be to heat the fuel and intake air prior to starting.

2/3rds of management have zero or negative effect on the company… they were good bull sh*ters and climbed the ladder where they wreak havoc. I don’t think anyone is surprised it may end this with way Textron in charge.

@STAIN This machine had a race front end?

It may still be available in the USA, Japan dealers want a frame number.

We can probably turn up a frame number or two and get some orders in, but they will probably shut it down… anyone have a number we can try out?

Uhhhg. Yamaha Japan is requiring a frame number to order the part. This indicates that Yamaha, at least in Japan, wants to keep that rare(ish) stock they have on hand for actual replacement on the models that came with it. Very likely due to them dropping out of the snow market. USA could be...

Ohlins came on the rear of Apex GT models from 06 - 10. 2008 40th front, or accessory.

@RobX-1 No, I order directly through a supplier in Japan. I’ll PM the info to you. @Stubbs can you purchase the control rezi separatel?
