Clutch cable (again) was: RE: [ST] Intro

Ben,

Yes, there have been lots of '01 ST's with broken cables, and yours fits the
profile perfectly. You can search the archives if you want. As far as the
warranty issue, I can't believe you let them make you pay for it. There
isn't a consumable part on the bike that wears out in 3K miles. Heck,
according to the maintenance schedule, there aren't any consumable parts
that need replacing under 12K, except oil and filters!

I'd suck up the spare you bought and keep it under your seat. However, I
would also go get my money back for the parts and labor on the one that was
replaced. Yes, this is a KNOWN issue! (or should be by now)

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
