Yambits orders have always been about 3 working days or so to show up - which was fantastic of course.
That was when they used FedEx. Looks like they just switched to UPS and it slowed them down.
Plan ahead on around 8 working days instead of the 3 or 4.
It was very nice having the very quick delivery times arriving from the UK.
sort of true they default to the other way, but there's a pull down on check out. can still get fedex. i -just- did this screenshot :twocents:

That's good news. Thanks!
I want to save up to buy a real RZ fuel valve plus rebuild kit some day, (unless advised that it's too risky to live with).
My FedEx guy shows up at 9am. Super nice and likes to talk bikes. When I said I can't believe the international service he just smiled and said, "that's what we do".
Re RZ petcock. In my opinion they and all other vacuum operated petcocks are junk. Buy an RD 400 petcock, bolt it on and you get 2 fuel outlets and a positive shut off. It is easy to fab up the stuff necessary to attach the plastic RZ fuel knob like I did if you are concerned about the appearance or reach into the hole left in the side cover and turn the gas on and off.

agree w tim, I did similar, used a raptor one I think and a t
That looks like a good move to save significant $'s, too.
Thank you!
I did it to both of my RZs. John at Economy Cycle sells really good ones.

$36 and a little tinkering is better than $150.
I did the RD400 petcock on my RZ too after I started it one spring and raw gas came roaring out of the exhaust pipe like no tomorrow. It could have turned out bad if it lit off.
I just ordered from them on Monday and decided to save 3 bucks, DPD is the carrier, I have not had anything delivered by them, tracking indicates that the item has been selected for customs check. I guess that would occur periodically , however parts have yet to arrive here. I have ordered on a Monday and received on Thursday. :whistle: I now know for future orders.
I placed an order on Monday morning and got it yesterday (Wednesday), FedEx :thumbs:
fedex for me as well, 87 dollar order of just hardware. just received yesterday
Hairo!
Yambits has always been really fast, considering where they are located. Impressive shipping.
Thanks for the heads up Mark!
Love the original hylomar on the intake gaskets...RD400 still up and running, Chuck tune of course!
yeah, wanted all new side cover screws for the 70 R5, original style, in bright zinc and they have them. Not easy to find anywhere else.
Always use DPD to NL, never disappointed with the delivery time and communication from DPD.
