1BigDog Posted October 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-Oil-Filter-Genuine-Part-Made-Japan-/140616854793?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20bd6aed09 Found this item on ebay. A Yamaha oil filter for 22 bucks PLUS shipping. Just how stupid does the seller really think we are. But I still wonder if anyone has actually bought one of these from him. 1 5GH-13440-00-00 ELEMENT ASSY, OIL CLEANER $7.65 @ Stadium Cycle in Texas.

FuzzyRSTD Posted October 8, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2011 Here it is direct form Yamaha including shipping. $8.52 These people are really doing an injustice here. They should be reported. http://www.yamahapartshouse.net/pages/ECommerce/ViewCart?returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yamahapartshouse.com%2Fyamaha-parts.aspx%3Faribrand%3DYAM%23%2FYamaha%2FROYAL_STAR_VENTURE_-_XVZ13TFW_-_2007%2FOIL_CLEANER%2FXVZ13TFW_(2007_MOTORCYCLE)%2FOIL_CLEANER_(XVZ13TFW_-_2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted October 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 8, 2011 DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR THE FACTORY FUEL FILTER Yeah thats what got me. Or didn't get me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted October 8, 2011 Share #5 Posted October 8, 2011 But they have 5 separate listings for this. They will probably combine shipping and save you tons of money. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted October 9, 2011 Share #6 Posted October 9, 2011 I don't think it's a ripoff. The pricing is up front and honest. If someone is dumb enough to buy it, that's on them for not researching. It's not like it's a $2 part with $25 shipping and handling fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted October 9, 2011 Share #7 Posted October 9, 2011 Not so bad as some stealers aren't much better. A local, and one of the oldest in the area, tried to charge me $15.95 for the OEM oil filter. I looked in the box and there was no 0-ring. I asked about that and he told me it was a seperate item and pulled a ziplock bag off the shelf with $3.95 written on it in marker. I found that rather low. I ordered a spin-on adaptor the next day. I still stop in once in a while to chat with one of the techs there. He rides a 1st gen Max and is impressed with the condition of my '84. But I haven't dropped a nickel at the place since them.
