Title: Piston for a TR1
Post by kdemery on 03.01.13 at 17:00:32

All

I need a new piston, standard size. Do you know where I can purchase one from?

If an original is not available is there a suitable alternative?

Thank you
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

there is one on ebay (Germany) right now:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/TR1-Yamaha-XV1000-Kolben-/221173468770?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item337ef74e62

Yamaha Germany offers this Piston (Part Nr. 5A8-11631-00-A0) for 163,39 Euros including Taxes:

There is another dealer who might have pistons. You would have to contact him, as he got no online-shop:

Unfortunately, You can not purchase them in the U.S. because they only got pistons for XV920 over there.
Where do You come from?

Regards,
Stefan

Hello Homer

No problem. I have one on the way so I can get my bike back on the road.  :)

I would advise you keep that piston safe. You may have one of a very few left.

Thank you
Kevin
