The cable wears on the right side signal/radiator bracket. The plastic sheath (from Pep Boys) fix is shown.

looking at that pic you could just use a tie wrap and wrap it with the part of the indicator wire that narrows, it would give you enough clearance. My clutch cable broke when i was at some lights which was pretty scarey but it broke from the clutch handle, it prob was still under waranty but to be honest I just bought the cable and did it myself it takes no time at all, just make sure that youre adjusted it right. I'm not sure how i routed it, pretty sure it was as was but i havent had a problem since. I'll go out and see what i did

. but yeah common prob but no biggie

I don't know what happens on a Speed 4 if you route it wrong, but on a TT600, it binds the throttle cable and yanks open the throttle at full lock on one side. I don't remamber which side, but it made for some interesting moments, and I headed right back to the house to reroute it!

Someone here talked about a fix that required reversing the bracket that holds the right turn signal stalk.

I swapped the turn signal brackets from left to right, and it gives much more room for the cable. I made an edge protector from wire insulation for the bottom of the bracket, and used the same to cover the "hook". Works great! :wink:

I got Venhill in uk to make me a new cable without the top bend and then routed it like this Jon's clutch cable route this has improved the hot-engine clutch action and gearchange and not worn noticeably in 4,000 ml.

If you want I will try to upload the dimensions

I infact bought one of your cables on eBay. Came with 'lcjonny' instructions quoted word for word from a post here and everything.

It's fitted, run in, performs as well as decribed.

Triumph is actually warranteeing my cable, even though my bike is out of warranty... My god, I just seen a pig fly.. lol...

I've been to two different dealers trying to get the cable fixed and they said Triumph wont fix it becuse its a "normal wear item" even though my bike is still under warranty. How did you all get Triumph to spring for the cost?

PragB · 02-08-2006

My dealer contacted Triumph and they said they would do it "this 1 time only" and that Triumph "told them about a fix" to solve the problem... So I wonder if it is the re-route fix or the swap signal mount fix.. lol...
