After a request for the part numbers for brakes pads on another thread, I thought it might be a good idea to list alternatives to OEM parts for consumables like brake pads, filters, chains, sprockets etc. It might be a good idea to copy and paste and add any info you have to the list?

So here is what I've found already:

Brake Pads

EBC part number/s: FA181 for the front, FA208 for the rear.


Oil Filter

K&N part number: 145


Sprockets

15T front 45T rear are the OE sizes, 520 pitch.

JT part number/s: front - JTF 308.15 rear - JTR 855.45 for OE pattern replacements (note the number after the point refers to the number of teeth).


Drive chain

Yep,the handbook doesn't actually say how long it is... fortunately I counted.

110 links (OE length) 520 pitch - ideally use an O ring or X ring, and a rivet link rather than clip.

My personal preference is a D.I.D 520VM, although have just fitted a Renthal R3 (significantly cheaper than D.I.D in the US).


Spark plug

NGK CR7E


Headlight bulbs

H7 55w single filament (dip and main beam)


Hope that helps some of you who have reached the point where bits are wearing out...

Hey, JMO! Is that sparkplug right? The manual says NGK/CR7E, that's a different one. Greetz, Hans.

You're right - I think the CR7E may be the iridium version? (judging by the price)...

My dealer suggested the DPR8EA-9 (which I see was in the older XT600E, and is also used in the TDM and others) would be fine as a spare/replacement... mind you, that might be because a) NGK don't list the 660 engine on their website, or b) that's all he had in stock...

Anyway, I'm sure it will work, but as you say, the correct NGK number as far as Yamaha themselves are concerned is CR7E...

Here is a handy list btw.

Sorry to butt in, but the correct spark plug is indeed the NGK CR7E whereas the Iridium one is CR7EIX or you can get a more expensive Denso one which the correct model is: Denso UI22

Not butting in - it's important to get this information correct...

My DPR8EA-9 is still in it's box - I'll have a word with my 'dealer' when I get back to the UK... (although I'm sure it will still work as a temporary spare?)

Think on the positibe side, Denso has factories in USA and if you manage to source a Denso one it'll cost half of what they charge here for it (�11.99)!!

Looks quite like the FZR600 3HE as well, I'd need to check, which means I'd need to find the box that has the FZR600 3HE parts in...I may be some time...

Genuine Yamaha bearings are a horrfic price. The advice I have had is that SKF are best quality. Here are the part no's you need.

Front & rear : 6203-2RS http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/6203-2R...Bearing-1889-p

Sprocket carrier 6304-2RS http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/6304-2R...Bearing-1930-p

Thanks scottnet - presumably the front and rear bearings are the same, and the same each side of the hub? do you know how many you need? (two each wheel presumably?)
