Default Best place to get service parts...

...like oil and air filters, plugs etc etc. Is it worth ordering online or is Halfords any good? Is it wrth paying for Suzuki filters or are patterns just as good?

Planning on doing a self service but not done one before so appreciate all the help I can get.

wemoto, m&p, HG. I got a Hiflo oil filter and Silkolene oil from Infinity - as I was in the shop. They're much of a muchness IMO.

I got one of the service kits from Busters Accessories. Bargain I thought.

I'd say for air filters stick with the standard Suzuki one unless you are rejetting the carbs.

oil filters stick with Suzuki as well i reckon, to be on the safe side, they're not much money and they do an important job.

Plugs - go for NGK CR9EK ones instead of the standard CR8E ones - these are more resistant to fouling.

hope that helps

Colder plugs more resistant to fouling? Woot?
