    Anyone ever ordered oem parts from Japan on Ebay. Need to order a oem cam chain tensioner but they are £132 from fowlers but on Ebay can get oem honda ones for £57 , too good to be true?

    @CharlieR85 may be able to help he’s bought from Japan direct but not via ebay from memory.

    Message the seller on eBay and ask them if they are genuine, only one way to find out! ;)

    Cant speak on the actual question, but any reason you dont want to go the manual route but OEM instead? Curiosity question lol.

    Talking to one of my hinda technician friends and something to do woth how the oem ones work. Manual ones are 99% of time set too tight with how the bike works on them or something.

    There you go.....that's how fast Webike Japan gets your parts to you. Pretty bloody amazing really, that's faster than 2nd class mail from within the UK.

    It's a throttle position sensor for a Yamaha. £56 delivered from Japan vs £168 delivered from UK.

    I think the parcel force side of the business is fairly reliable.

    I must have got lucky with the flight times because 2 days is a new record for me.
