Lubing Throttle Cable and Clutch Cable


Recommended Posts

Is it worth it to deconstruct the throttle cable housing with only 2k miles on the bike...I ride it rain or shine, but it looks pretty sealed up unlike some older bikes I've had.
 
Almost 35,000 on mine and unless the dealership lubed it, it hasn’t been touched. I ride in the rain a lot. I did squirt a little lube in the clutch cable housing when I swapped levers about 25,000 miles ago.

Let’s go Brandon

Maybe I don't know what tool you're talking about, but I don't disengage the clutch cable to lube it. I just squeeze the lever and that exposes enough of the cable to squirt in some lube. I use Dri-Slide lube that comes with a needle-tip applicator on the bottle. It's small enough to fit into the small opening and squirt some lube into the cable housing.
