Best source of spare parts in the UK for my '91 3AJ?

Hi, I've recently bought a '91 3AJ and am using it to commute 75 miles a day (lovely bike and great fun!). Anyway, I'm now getting toward the point where I want to do a service, so will need source the usual parts such as
Oil filter
Air filter
Brake pads
Spark plug
Chain/swinging arm guard (the yellow thing which stops the chain rubbing on the swinging arm)
etc. etc.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable parts source for these and other major 3AJ parts I going to need over the next 40,000 miles or so?

Thanks in advance everyone.
Craig....

Hi Craig,

There are some specialist places, like MotoWard, and mail-order places like MandP, but I find that most parts and bits are available immediately or supplied next day by my local Yamaha dealer. The Yamaha parts service is really great, and a real bonus when considering the age of the model.

If you are after aftermarket kit for the bike, then Wunderlich and Kedo in Germany are very good.

Obviously there is a premium associated with the high quality service (although some items have been a pleasant surprise), and the location/postage.

Ciao, Geoff
