Spare parts pricing ,,,,

2 weeks ago my clutch cable snapped 400km from home (was away for work)

(See http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?...le%20gave%20up)

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 http://www.kfm-motorraeder.de/cms/en...d=5VKF63350000 and 24,38�/31EUR (plus shipping from http://www.bike-parts-yam.com/ )

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 ?
