1BigDog Posted January 27, 2011 #1 Posted January 27, 2011 After sloshing around the internet the other day I found this site in Texas who was offering OEM parts for up to 40% off. Prices were a little cheaper then Sports Plaza and Part Shark so I gave them a try. http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/
Rick Butler Posted January 27, 2011 #3 Posted January 27, 2011 No, This dealership has been around since the mid 70s where I bought my 750 Special there in 78. I haven't been over there in a while and I'm sure the ownership has changed several times like many of us have seen in the past few years, but I think this is serious. Maybe they are making a consious effort to take advantage of the internet market like MR Cycles and others like them have been doing over the most recent years. If their overhead is low and they can make orders like this with no manpower with something like drop shipment from Yamaha, then maybe they can give us a 40% discount? Would any of you like me to ride over there and talk with them? Hope this helps, Rick
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 #4 Posted January 27, 2011 Rick, thats where I ordered my fork rebuild parts from.
Mike G in SC Posted January 27, 2011 #5 Posted January 27, 2011 I think someone mentioned them a couple of months back. I went to their site to get pricing on saddle bag rails,,,, really good. I printed the page then showed it to my local dealer. He normally will match a Yamaha dealer price,,, he did. So, even if they are not convenient, your dealer "may" meet his price. (So, may want to put that dealer in your favorite bucket.) Mike G.
The Marshal Posted January 27, 2011 #6 Posted January 27, 2011 Stadium Yamaha is a really great place to do your bidness. I have talked with the owner, and he is serious about Customer Service. Sadly, all the MC shops in the D/FW area will ignore you if you walk in, unless you are on a zoomie Go-fast bike, and are about 22 yrs old. HA! Not true at this place, they are a small shop, but they have always taken care of me, looked me in the eye, and thanked me for my business. So even though there is a Yamaha shop 2 miles from my house, I ride across the Metroplex to go to Stadium.
Condor Posted January 27, 2011 #7 Posted January 27, 2011 Just about every Y part is keystoned.... In other words doubled from wholesale price. So at 40% they're still making 10% on Internet sales. Not great, but a lot better than 50% of nothing. My local Y deal just had a parts sale where everything was $1 buck over cost. One interprising individual walked in and ordered a set of Billet Wheels to the tune of $1200. Saved big bucks....
Formerfuzz Posted January 27, 2011 #8 Posted January 27, 2011 I bought my 2009 V Star 950 from them, as well as a friend of mine. We also have ordered may accessories from them. The Owner seems very nice.
twoupvent Posted January 28, 2011 #9 Posted January 28, 2011 I have used them for a couple of times and have not had any problem with them. I ordered the Yamaha luggage rack for the RSV that was back ordered. after waiting three months it finally shipped. The sales manager call to verify that I received it and apologized again. the problem is with Yamaha supporting your rides.
MikeWa Posted January 29, 2011 #10 Posted January 29, 2011 Front fender guard STR-4XY14-10-00 is $5.00 more than Sports Plaza. Mike
ibents Posted January 29, 2011 #11 Posted January 29, 2011 This who I ordered my OEM shock from and found them to be much cheaper than anywhere else I tried...$488 Can...Their delivery was very quick and have no complaints about their service, very friendly on the phone. Ian
