I know Subaru sold out to Yamaha but apparently they kept a distribution center open to sale off parts.

But is ending in December per my RBI distributor. This is message I got.

Correct. My distribution told me something similar a few months ago. Also that most parts are already gone, and there is only 1 person left working tech support and parts supply and that ends at the of the year.

Kinda looking like the customers are going to get screwed on this OEM parts too. I just got checking one Yamaha source and they have no IPLs for the Robin/Subaru engines.

Kinda lucky that I only have 7 customers with that line of engines.

Well it has been 7 years since they stopped producing Subaru engines. But you are right. Any running Subaru engines that need repair at a future date are SOL.
