There is a warranty campaign that replaces the rear drum spring on some RTs. If you have this problem, check with your dealer to see if the spring should be replaced with the stronger one. Alsombe sure to clean and lube both ends of the cable at every service. If it sticks in the least, it comes off the front drum.

Ours came offthe rear drum. I put it back on and noticed that the bracket holder for the adjustment nut was not aligned with the drum. It is a bit offset. Several of the Spyders had met for lunch one day. I walked the crowd and noticed some were in alignment and some were not.

So now another check-off for the pre-ride inspection.
