Quote the above part number at a Yammy dealer. I've had to do this before and it was easy to sort. Getting them to find the part number is hard work as a sale of a whole new speedo assembly and sensor is much more profitable.

The sensor shouldn't die short of you cutting the wire, but the magnetic cup with the two tabs is easily broken (mostly by quick tyre fitterS!!!)
