Spares prices....

Is it just me, or have they gone up a lot recently? I run 3 bikes, so am used to the cost of 'consumables'. I have not had to buy any major spares for a while.
Looked up the cost of parts for a top end refresh for the 125 Honda Innova two years back, when it started using more oil than I liked.
With family & health issues, got moved to the back burner. Decided to do it this year, as it is leaving a 2T like smoke trail in its wake, & oil top ups were becoming a weekly affair. Fair play to the bike, it's now done close on 40k & has probably been the most reliable & cheapest to run bike I've owned.
So I looked up the parts needed. Even from WeMoto, prices seem to have doubled in a couple of years.

Bikes have become so reliable these days that selling spares can be hard work trying to earn a living from them, but I have noticed that consumables like oil, air filters plugs etc plus oil prices have risen sharply so even a simple service can hit the wallet a bit hard
