>Eric,
>first of all I want to let you know I think your sight is great. The one 
>section that is missing(or I can't find) is ST/RS owners comments. For 
>instance my 2000 ST has a warrantee/safety issue that even Jerry Parish at 
>Triumph North America is unwilling to take care of. As we both know 
>Triumph touts a 2 year warrantee. This is limited in may respects one 
>being the cables. What is left out is the housing for the cables can break 
>causing the cable to bind. This has happened on at least 5 2000 ST's that 
>I have seen.
>The conical shaped plastic end of the accelerator cable (located at the 
>handle bar) cracks and chips when the bike is turned hard to the right 
>over time (under 5k). The cracking isn't to bad, but when the plastic 
>housing chips it bites into the cable and pulls the cable when turning 
>right. The good news is Triumph must have identified this because the 2001 
>models have 2 notches to relieve pressure on the housing.
>What disturbs me is not only is Triumph unwilling to handle this as a 
>warrantee but they seem unwilling to check into this as a safety item. 
>When turning to the right (max turn on the bars) the bike will rev up to 6k.
>I bought the bike in Mountain View California, the dealer has tried to 
>handle this from their end but have been meet with the same resistance 
>from Triumph that I have.
