Well i phoned the nearest authorized yamaha dealer (Copenhagen Denmark) and was promissed a 2 day delivery time (Phoned before noon on tuesday with delivey thursday to the shop) Unfortunately it did not arrive, and friday was a public holiday.
But as you can see in my original post i fixed it temporarely and i have later collected the cable i ordered. But when i was told the price i was close to say f**k *#"�#!"�!# !
437,50 DKK ~58 EUR for the cable !
I had searched online and found the 5VK-6335-000 for 37,19 EUR (plus shipping) from

Well she said that the prices was supposed to be the same all over europe with only the differences caused by different VAT.
Well i ordered the cable because i had hoped to get in time for the long ride home, but have now done ~1000km with my repair.
A OEM cable from Kedo (that is probably of the same quality of not better) is only €14
How much are you charged for simple service parts ?
