Parking Brake Cable Routing/Installaion.

[groundeffect]

Hey fellow Spyder/Ryders!


Been noticing my Parking Brake Cable is worn and despite the lubrication I've applied down/through the sheath over the past couple years it still appears to be binding. I guess the weather, terrain and normal wear has finally gotten to it.


I'm ordering a new Parking Brake cable and springs to give it a good refresh. I will be consulting the trusty Spyder Shop Manual very soon.

Anyone install a new Parking Brake cable before - how was the routing?

Thanks.
Cheers.

Just dont make the mistake I made. I rerouted mine when fitting bar risers and did not realise that when the bars were turned it would "flip over" and sit on the exhaust. The inner sleeve melted and jammed the cable so stay well away from the exhaust pipe.

Thanks for the note - I plan to stick to the factory BRP routing outlined in the shop manual.
Thanks.
