It isn't easy I can tell you. Some of the parts are available at Yamaha still, so it is worth trying them first. Make friends with a local engineering shop because some of the bits will need to be made.

The key I found was to be patient and if all else fails buy from eBay. These are some of the places I have obtained parts for the bike. I'm not sponsored by them and don't endorse any of them, and I'm not saying that they're the cheapest, I just found that they were good for getting parts and their service was pretty good.

E-mail the users of the UK forum as they likely have what your after sitting in their garage at home. http://yamahatriplesUK.myfreeforum.org

http://xs750cafe.com is another great by a tripler. Parts and info here on fixing triples. Nice one Ricky. Keep up the good work.

http://www.yamaha-triples.org is full of triple information and has a great U.S discussion forum. Bob Ryan's site. One of the best triple sites to date.

www.biker.net is Jean Aker's site. Another tripler and another very good site. Cheers Jean.

www.wemoto.com also sell on ebay. Good for indicators, gaskets and seals. They also have some electrical parts.

 www.mandp.co.uk also sell on ebay. Site Difficult to navigate!!

www.xs650shop.de Very good reliable honest service. Manual petcocks and electrical parts from here ttansfer from the 650 fine. Petcocks that fit our bikes are part number 20-0019.

Great place to buy replacement fuel taps or petcocks. Email me for the correct ones. A lot of 650 & 750 bits are the SAME!!

www.ebay.co.uk OR www.ebay.com ( There are more parts available in America)

"Speed and spares inc ." sell new old stock for Yamahas and sell on ebay as "Yamatopdog", "Speed and spares reproduction graphics" and "speedandsparesinc.com" You will need to have part numbers available.

Their reproduction graphics are good quality and worth the price.
