Yamaha support of new parts for our older bikes

[LeesBike]

I'm trying to bring back a bike that sat 20+ years in a garage. Its a 2001 Royal Star Boulevard Midnight edition XVZ13A . It has 2500 miles on it. Carb parts, manifolds, and now I cannot find OEM ignition coils. The aftermarket seems spread thin with junk. New manifolds were ordered and they were of awful quality and too hard to mount the carbs on them. Finally did find OEM manifolds, which work perfectly. I don't want to buy junk for a bike that I cannot get back to health (I am a professional mechanic, just no certification as I went pro in my late 50's). I use partzilla and they sometimes have what yamaha gives them, or sells them. To me this bike is new, but it will never be a classic if all of them are dead. Thoughts? Suppliers? and comment welcome.

You might check with Mike Eykamp, he has several NOS parts for Royal Stars he bought from shops going under and parts out some bikes. Pinwall was a good source but they sold out last year, not sure to who or what they’re going with it.

Have you tried Yamaha Sports Plaza. I am not a mechanic but have purchased OEM clutch parts and last year the voltage regulator and various bolts for my 2001 Yamaha Venture Royal Star.
