Where do you get your spares from?
Looking for a pilot screw set for my 1990 535, got quoted £30 from a yam dealer. Disgusting for what it is.
Seen them online for £15, why are the prices so different as they are both genuine Yamaha parts?

Also considered from the US but shipping again is extortionate and costs more than buying from the UK to begin with.
CMSNL have disgusting prices too.
Where is the cheapest place? Pretty sure its this that is correct for my bike:

Thanks

What's wrong with the one you have? Is the end tip snapped off?

I wouldn't even think about buying one until the one you have is out. could be you'll trash the carb.

I'd cut a slot in the top of the screw then heat up the carbs and try again with a screwdriver.
