Re: [ST] Clutch cable

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack about a year ago I ordered a spare cable when the failures 
started. About 2-3 months later my dealer called and told me that the 
spare I had ordered was one of the defectives. He then replaced it 
under the recall. I can tell you that the new ones look different 
than the originals the elbow is no longer shiny steel but black. If 
you're spare has the shiny metal elbow than I'd suggest that it is 
suspect. Maybe your dealer would replace it with a new one?

PS: What I may do is replace my original with the new one and keep 
the old as the spare.
