If you're replacing just the pull throttle cable, it's $20. For the push and pull cables, it's $40. And if a bike is more than 5 years old, they don't keep the parts at the dealer so everything has to be ordered from a warehouse somewhere.

 

aarrghh i just got my bike back from the shop... it took them a week to fix it they said my throttle cable was ready to snap and the throttlw casing was broken it cost me $208 and when i went to leave i noticed the put a nice half dollar size dent in the tank with paint chipped off... they questioned whether i was sure it wasnt there before. They bought me off with a $20 bike cover.

 

I would suggest finding another shop. if they dented your tank, then tried to deny it and bought you off with a cheap cover, theres something wrong.
