$142.00 for a Triumph fuel filter? F____ off!

[dogsnbikes]

The other day I had a fuel cupling on the Daytona snapped off :facepalm: then the second one snapped :shutup: so off I went too order some and the cuplings were in stock and so was the rubber seal I needed,

So far its costing me

cuplings x2 $45 ea
rubber seal $85
o-rings x2 $10.50 ea

since I have the tank apart and the fuel filter is internal I may as well replace it,and rather than getting the triumph Fuel filter @ $142 I got a BMW Fuel filter @ $70 and they are the same FFS

So if anyone is doing their fuel filter on the Daytona 955i or similar have alook at the BMW Fuel filter............ Part # 16 14 2 325 859

Pathetic eh. I fail to understand how this happens in NZ.

I've been ordering FACTORY HONDA parts and sundry service bits from the USA for my Honda - some of the shit in NZ is 6 x the price. :facepalm: The same little genuine Honda parts.

[dogsnbikes]

I found the same thing when I did the fork seals on the daytona,it was alot cheaper to get the honda CBR900 fork seals as both bikes use the same forks

Holy shit! $10.50 for a circle of rubber?

bloody mad isn't it,they use too be $8.00 ea,but saying that I did have a triumph dealer charge me $132 to replace the o rings once and they use non fuel rated O rings which turned into a goooey sludge :facepalm:

Note it is for USA models only so if your ride did not land there it will not be listed.

Most of the popular bikes will be listed - be aware that headlights will probably not be legal in NZ due to the offset. But some models are the same and rely on adjusters to do the angle.

yeah good one on the filter mate i did the same thing put the bmw one in.note the male dry break fuel connectors will be replaced under a recall and i just done the females at the 20k service .but yeah part prices are bullshit its about 160 for front original sprocket haha that will remain on triumphs shelf for many years

Yea don't shop at AMPS if you can help it. I find all my filters are available from Repco. Much cheaper.

[karmobRob]

What length and diameter are those filters? and are they 8mm hoses? I am Auto Electrical and EFI specialist and Ill see what I can find.

You probably don't want to know what I'm used to then... :rolleyes:

[Flip]

Triumph parts.................ummmmmmmmmmmmm

They took my money and then never supplied the parts..........................

Triumph NZ......................................once fool me, twice fool you...............................never again..............................

IMHO just a bunch of rip off cunts:nono::nono::nono::nono::nono::nono::nono::no no::nono::nono:

[karmobRob]

No luck yet, But Bike Bandit do it for US$58, and a copy US$30.

[Owl]

Right, just purchased the identical Mahle KL145 on Trademe for $29. He can do more (only 1 left at the moment), or can also do an aftermarket filter for about $10.

Get in touch.:msn-wink:

Another thread bitching about the motorcycle industry.

and the bmw filter thing has been around for YEARS

[Spearfish]

There could be a book written with the subject of shared parts across models and brands or is that what parts suppliers sorta do now?

So is that a moan about a bitching thread then?:facepalm:

I wouldnt though do that with oil filters, thats too risky. A number of aftermarket oil filters only have 60% of the paper area of genuine.
