Hi, I am new to this site as I have just bought a 2009 GTR1400. Can anyone recommend a good parts mail order service? Availabilty and service being a priority over discounts.  :)

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum.

Stockport hey? You might see a black 08 GTR on the M60 daily. That'd be me  ;D

As for parts, I always find Cornwall Kawasaki very good, but your local dealer should be able to get genuine parts in

Chris, welcome to the site/forum. Good to have another Northern member.  ;D
I have in the past just ordered bits and bats from my local Kawasaki dealer, most parts seem to be in stock with Kawasaki and take about a week to arrive, which parts are you specifically looking for. There might be someone on here who could help you source them?

Hi Norman, Lonewolf, not seen any GTRs on the M60. I travel daily from Stockport to Bury about 8am and return about 6 pm. Will keep a look out. Not looking for anything in particular yet, but would like to know who the good suppliers are before I need them. I know that I will need a front caliper anti rattle/retaining spring at some time as one of mine is bent. Cheers.

If you're buying a genuine part then the supplier shouldn't matter, but FWIW I've used Cornwall Kawasaki for mail order and my local dealter, Autorama @ Batley

I'm normally travelling on the M60 between 8am - 9am towards Manchester Airport. I did see a GTR once actually, and that headed into Rochdale. Was on a private reg
