£561 or $822 for a 2014 yz 250 front pipe and £454 or $665 for the silencer.that's £1015 or a whopping $1487.00 for an oem yz250 2-stroke pipe and silencer !! Have'nt even looked at the fourstroke or other manufacture parts prices! This is the first microfiche in the uk that i ever found which actually list's the oem parts prices.always used to have to phone the dealer and get a quote over the phone for each individual part in the past.check it out click on the link.

Why would you look at OEM exhausts though?
The Shop
£1132 just for the muffler
At one point you could buy a British made, right hand drive car thousands cheaper by buying it from Belgium or Germany.
'Rip-off Britain' is what it's known as.
Suzuki parts prices are fine and they will give large discounts on certain spares if you ring them and talk to them. You have to pick up the phone and you have to stick your neck out, if you don't then you will get shafted.
It's mugs Britain if you just look at the advertised price and pay it.
I'm also pretty good at searching for deal's but people don't tend to barter for oem parts at a motorcycle dealers in general.

If you can't get your bike to run the way you want with an FMF Gnarly and a "Shorty"?

Well, then you're stuck with the RIDICULOUS PRICES that you're taking about. Make that INSANE!
Between Jetting, Reeds, YPVS...& the various pipes and silencers out there...there's NO REASON to run a stock pipe. Ever.
But, that's jus' my thinking.
Let me know if you have any trouble getting what you need.
So , let me get this right, just because a country sells more of something, it miraculously makes them cheaper to make!! Bullshit. Things dont jump out of factories at zero cost,
Parts prices are just a made up number, and we get screwed over as a result
Always buy bike stuff from the states, and car stuff, and clothes.... Pretty much anything that won't go off in the post.. even some of the US sites are starting to get in on the 'wheel of fortune' pricing structure though, Motosport is one i'll never use as they have the US prices, and then the UK prices for us idiots, not a set one though, it ranges from about 20-60% from their own prices to the US market lol
These prices are list. I've never managed to get Honda to shift on price although they rarely overprice unusual parts and they are reducing their prices to the point they're often cheaper than pattern parts. Suzuki standard is 30% off, sometimes more depending on the part. Yamaha can be hit and miss, one day you'll get something off, ring back the next day and you won't.
I should add that in the USA they don't add sales tax on to the price, they have a more favourable trade agreement with Japan so pay a lower rate of import duty and also have local manufacturing, and spares supply, of motorcycles. Once you have shipped a part to Europe from Japan, to Germany with Suzuki, Belgium with Honda, and Holland with Yamaha, and then on wards again to the UK, paid a higher rate of import duty and then have local sales tax applied at the point of sale then the price will appear higher. Also parts from the USA appear cheaper as sales tax isn't applied when they're purchased and if you can skirt import duty then it will arrive 30-35% cheaper. Pay all import taxes it usually costs the same.
fixed it for you
