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.

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]

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:2thumbs:

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.

Thats good to hear for you....but when BDM called me back yesterday....the guy I spoke to said that they can't do anything about the cable....and said hope I get more miles out of the new one than I did with my old one....who did you speak to?

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.

[TCALZ06]

Do you know what they did for the design change and when they made they change?

I had a new cable installed last year I wonder if mine has the new design????

I have a spare that I got 2 months ago since I'm at 7k on my
2nd cable which is where my first one broke

 

[JimNubs]

Mine broke while shifting between second and third gear. Bike has 16,500 on it. Had the dealer install an easy pull setup in it with the new clutch cable.

 

[T.Byrd]

Mine has 14,000 on it and I broke my 2nd. one today.

 

[reloaderbmg]
