>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.
