Bike Shop – While not all bike shops make a habit of stocking older parts, there are plenty of them that do a lot of service work, and may well have the parts you need on hand. They will be charging you top dollar for them, though. If you are on a budget, you may want to consider a different purchase path.

Junk Yards - There are a lot of people wrecking bikes out there. Many of them don’t try to fix up their bike after the crash, they just send it to the junk yard. This can be a great place for you to find a part you need and cheap. Often a junkyard will let you pull whatever pieces you need off of a bike for just a few bucks. As long as that part is not what was damaged in the crash, it's a great deal.

EBay – You can find anything for sale on eBay, and that includes older Yamaha motorcycle parts. Do an eBay search for the part you need. The more specific you make the search, the shorter and more focused the results list will be. Always check the shipping price before bidding on an item. Many sellers mark shipping prices up to make a bigger profit.

Craigs List – Another place to find pretty much anything is craigslist.org. You can post a message on the website letting other Yamaha riders know you are looking for particular parts and if they have them, they will let you know, and give you a price. You can also look around to see if someone has already put the items you need up for sale.

It used to be if you wanted to fix an older vehicle of any sort you would have to search high and low to try and find that one person who may have what you are looking for. Thanks to technology and the advent of the Internet, even if you can't find things locally, you can now find those older Yamaha motorcycle parts quickly, no matter where they are in the world.
