Im located in south yorkshire declan, as for the plastics where they havent sprayed underneath ,they look pretty good you can see they were all black before.
Been looking on the internet for plastics but all i can find is used ones or the odd panel new ,I did come across a guy in portugal that sells full sets for £130. -

@stobbsie yeah but that's a lot of money well atleast to me it is the route I took is to get some Yamaha blue spray paint but my shop was out so I got pearl blue which is a little darker but had metal flakes in
-
@declan have you ever had to remove spray paint?,if so what would you say would be best a paint stripper or sanding?
@stobbsie well if you planning on re using the plastics without re painting sand paper is a no go but if you want the paint off to re paint sand paper all the way then use light sand paper to rough the surface up then run a cloth of running alcohol or paint thinner as I use just to clean it

£110 is cheap indeed for a full set of plastics.
You have to put the whole thing into perspective.
It's going to cost money to get another bike, plus sell the one you got, plus sort out any niggles with the new bike.
Where you could have just sorted out the old bike. If it's just the plastics then that's really not that bad going.
I wrapped a few panels on my bike that were damaged and I couldn't be bothered to buy.
Done right it can be really cost effective and look pretty good.
For the sake of £30, get some black wrap and wrap the plastics. Then buy a set of graphics to stick over the top.
Really cheap way to get the bike looking sweet.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@declan DTR is an appreciating classic.
Seriously, these bikes will only go up in value and parts WILL dry up eventually.
Keeping the bike in tip top condition will pay dividends, even more so if yours was cheap to begin with

@Calum when I was deciding on getting a dt I thought there would be loads of parts it's not that bad but I thought the market would be flooded kinda sad really
-
@declan Yeah mate, used to be. But as more and more get stolen destroyed and scrapped you can expect parts to dry up.
Yamaha discontinuing parts is also going to play into a big factor.

Are these genuine parts for a yamaha as this seems really really cheap

From my experience if someone isn't texting / calling back, it means they have sold the bike
@Mightyman but you can agree it's dodgy so just keep that in mind but hope you get it and are happy with it
get yourself one lol
