Best place in Calgary for Yamaha ATV parts?
I've got a 2007 Grizzly 700 that needs a ball joint and three CV boots.
Who has the best price and availability of Yamaha parts?

That's not Calgary.
My quad is apart right now so the sooner I get the parts the better.

Walt Healy and Pro Am are both OK for the ball joints (and the boots I guess); You might want to give Pats Driveline (just off Blackfoot, south of Glenmore) a shot for the boots, several years ago when my Suzuki needed boots, the dealer price was crazy, so I took the torn boots to Pats and they crossmatched into their stock for about 1/3 of the dealer cost, their parts fit perfectly.
If you are tearing boots regularly, check out some boot guards, easy to fab up yourself and they save a lot of grief in the bush.
Good Luck

I'm from northern Alberta where my buddy is a Yamaha dealer.
From being in Cochrane lots since 2001, and from what I have heard I believe the Yamaha dealer there is pretty good. Its not Calgary but its only 22km west.

Dont laugh, but i like autovalue, they can order parts and have them in 4 hours if not than next day. Bought, a fuel pump and battery, for my polaris, both where half the price of the ATV shops, and the fuel pump was the same brand and the battery an interstate.

Lots of great places online (US)....too OEM parts are usually 40-60 percent cheaper. Try: www.powerpartsplus.com/ out of Texas. Good guys with which to deal.

I called a few different places and found Blackfoot Motorsports to have the best prices. Strange thing is yesterday they didn't have a ball joint in stock and was going to take a week to get it.Today they had one.
Aftermarket CV boots were only $15 each but will be here next week from Vancouver.
Walt Healy and Ralphs Arctic Cat/Yamaha wanted $55 -$67 per boot. They had to of been quoting prices on OE parts.
I'll wait the week for $15 boots.
One less thing I have to do this weekend.
