Can a Canadian price me a head gasket for an LC please?

#1 Post by JonW » Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:16 pm

Ive been looking at head gaskets for the LC and the prices here are silly (as ever), I remembered that in Canada some parts are silly cheap so wondered if anyone was passing a yam dealer and could price me this part?

4L0-11181-09 ...as in this ebay listing:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Genuine-Y ... 1c667f31e1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I really would like the square edged version (coded -09), not the rounded one (coded -00) like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CYLINDER-HEAD ... 1837079974" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yamaha seems to have gone away from the rounded flatter single piece item, I assume it was problematical?

I can price it tomorrow.

I know an 84 head gasket is $30cdn in Canada and $50us-ish in the states

Jon, text me 0400816885 and I will send photo of what I've got left over.
I'd rather ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow.

Hi Jon.

Head Gasket price is $63.00 Can.
It's not in stock at my local guy, but will only take about 1 week for him to get it in.
Shipping by air to Australia is $14.00 Can.

I actually have a brand new copper gasket, but would rather use the OEM.
