I've always put Halfords semi-synth 10W40 in mine.
You might find the filters in Halfords if you can figure out what the Champion part code is (or if by some small chance it's in their book). Otherwise Wemoto. Wemoto do pattern cush rubbers. Chainlube... Personally, I tend to grease mine. Pot of multipurpose grease from Halfords, spread it on with your fingers thick enough to keep the crud off. Clean it off with paraffin occasionally and reapply. Lasts a lot longer than spray lube if you're using the bike every day, and especially if it's wet. If I'm travelling, I tend to just use engine oil, on the grounds that carrying a litre of engine oil is more useful than a can of spray lube.

Filter: eBay you can get some good multi buy deals.
Oil: I normally use 10w40 from hein gericke as I bought 6 big canisters when they where on offer and only just finishing them off. After that I'm basically back to the halfords stuff again. Cush drive rubbers: only ever bought them from yamaha once as I normally packed them out. might have a look at wemoto myself. oil for chain: Normally used scot oil as I've always had scot oilers, but once the bottles run out I use old engine oil which I've tons of. Buy some cheap tooth brushes, wee bottle filled with oil and an old rag is all you need really

Why not try opie oils, get all my oils there, cheaper than most shops even after you pay the postage, everything from a cheap 10-40 to the expensive stuff
