Sourcing DT 230 Lanza parts from Japan, or elsewhere?

[george formby]

:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
I'm in the unfortunate but deserved situation of having a dead DT 230 Lanza, well, not dead just needs some bits. I took it snorkeling a wee while back & it has munched the bottom end as a consequence. So I'm looking for a whole new crank & conrod set or the bearings, gudgeons etc for a re-build & a full piston & gasket kit. Might as well do top end & bottom together..
I'm not doing it, can't change a light bulb without instructions but the handy man who is cannot source parts from Yamaha NZ. I have links from the DT 230 thread on ADV Forum but am wondering if any KB'ers are getting hard to find parts from other places so I can do a bit of comparison shopping.
HERE (http://www.jp-parts.com/?gclid=CKDw74rp0K0CFcVKpgodAkafnQ) is the first port of call.
Any other suggestions for this numpty?

Sorry PD. Busted it..

I got everything for mine through Waikato Yamaha no problem...but of course like most Yamaha shops they went under. I know they sourced some parts from Aust and some from Japan. That was a piston, seals, gaskets and 6th gear, I got the bearings locally. The piston was expensive, the rest of the stuff reasonably priced. Like a lot of Yamaha's, no gasket set, all individual.

When we had a dt230 we brought quite a few bits from here :

That company is linked on ADV, too, but I could not find the bike bit so thank you. Can you search by part number with them? Apparently they have the sharpest pencil.

but of course like most Yamaha shops they went under.

Why do they go under ? Canterbury Yamaha didn't last long nor the crowd they took over

I've used this crowd before >> http://www.cmsnl.com/
I had a quick look for dt230 but came up empty, maybe you could try part #'s
Freight is a bit spendy though :gob:

Www.wemoto.com have been good when I've needed bits and bobs. Don't forget that you also get 20% off uk prices as you don't pay gst/vat, but if its over $400 you get pinged for it at this end, still under 20% though....

Bugger me. I can get another bike for just over $2000..:eek:

Are the parts kosha? Could not see what I need on the listings, crank, pistoooon kit etc. But.

I just had a bit of a fossick around the focus site. Unfeckin believable. Johnkey is right, we need to learn Chinese.

Ta for that. Seems the S'arf Island has better bikes & connections than d'norf. Every bike that catches my eye is either in Nelson or outside Christchurch somewheres.

Seems to be the complete opposite when you live down here haha

Ah, your out on a limb, too. Bike wise it sucks to be at the outer end of an island. Mind you, every ride is a long one.

Cheers, I will give them a ring. Any experience with these guys, good rep? Be a shame to get a crank & find it's no better than mine.
