First I've heard of it. Course it's an easy thing to check for. I
wonder if this is something that can be mitigated by keeping this
area lubed?

>>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

>>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.

>>What disturbs me is not only is Triumph unwilling to handle this as
