Wait, I was either not on the list when this was
discussed, or had a period where I was unsubbed and it
was disuccesed then.
I had a clutch cable break in June, just after just
over 3k miles in my new '01 ST. Others have had this
problem? I ended up having to buy a cable, it never
came in and I bought from another dealer. Then the
original order came in and they would not refund the
money (actually, they would and charge a 15%
restocking fee). Nobody in the state of Ohio would
cover it under warranty, claiming it was a
'consumable' part. I can kinda see their point, but
after a few months and just 3k miles or so?!?!?!
Has there been any official word from Triumph on this?
I'm curious because the dealer I bought my bike from
may cut GREAT deals on the bike's sale, but their
service department sucks.
Long story short: I've been keeping it under my seat
in case it happens again. I figured it wouldnt do me
much good hanging in my garage when I'm 100 miles
away.
