Is a new cable in my future and if so anyone know of where to obtain one other than the dealer?




Hey Dennis, I may be able to answer one of your questions. My cable broke at about 24k kms, no warning except a little excess cable noise for a couple days. Kinda sounded dry, ya know? So I wasn't too surprised. But any way, a new Triumph cable was $60, so I went to the local jobber, (NAPA), and bought a universal kit, (like you would use on an old Chevy).On the bike one end is like the old Chevy and one end is "special". You drill the old cable out of the "special" end, cut the cable to length, stuff it in and crimp! $8.00 !! Make sure you grease the conduit well as its going back in.
Good luck.
Gerry.
