Mine broke while I was riding on the highway, shifted into 6th gear and it let go. Had to bang the gears down as I got off the highway along with blowing two red lights to get home. I was lucky and it was late at night.

I am going to send my cable back to Barnett....being that Big Dog won't do anything for me...
I got this reply back from them today!

Sorry to hear about your cable. If you have a Baker Transmission there was a design change. Send us the cable and we will repair or replace it. Or you can go through Big Dog, they should replace it at no charge.

no problem Mick

yeah I heard of some people who's cable breaks..BDM would cover it and some(like me) that they wouldn't...no biggie...I am just glad to have a spare cable now

and it was great to hear Barnett took care of me.....

seatmaker · 08-03-2009, 04:02 PM

Hasn't broke yet but makes a clicking sound when I pull it all the way back. I think I'm going to order a spare just in case. Beezer, order one up

I just broke my clutch cable two weeks ago and just picked it up today and it shifts better than when I purchased the bike. My dealership agreed to eat the labor and I paid for the cable. This was the third time that I had an issue with my clutch cable at the lever end. Is there a way to check if your clutch cable is bad? I advised my dealership that if it happens a third time, you don't fix it, you replace it and that is what they did.

OOPS, sorry I didn't notice the post until today. Just a little late. I think the guys name was Luke that I talked to. It's been a while. Who knows if the guy still works there with all the lay offs. They sent me a check after I sent the receipt for the cable I bought. My bike still is under warranty. I'm sure that's why they covered it.
