Heads up - Yamaha Price Hikes

[Economy Cycle John]

I'm seeing some major price hikes on OEM Yamaha parts recently

examples
Oil Drain bolt gasket 4F4-14766-00 - $15.49 
Yamaha Manifold Gasket / Reed Valve Intake Gasket 87A-13621-00-00 - $12.49
Yamaha RD250/350/400 RZ350 (all) Oil Pump gasket 126-13116-01-00 - $14.49

I've checked some of the big online parts retailers like cheapcycleparts, boats.net, etc., and though less than retail, there's some big corresponding jumps there as well and some others that don't seem to have updated prices yet

EC has all that stuff in reproductions at a fraction of the cost, but we still sell a lot of OEM Yamaha parts as well - Yikes!

Maybe it's temporary due to COVID affecting supply chain issues, who knows but wow that's a lot of cabbage for paper gaskets.

They probably just saw the Yamaha Canada price list and just used that.
