Sourcing DT 230 Lanza parts from Japan, or elsewhere?

[george formby]

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 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.

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

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..

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.

I found all my parts were bang on the problem I had was having a chinese engine they use the same model numbers for everything so my parts were a bit up the fuck

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.
