Mechanical Clutch Cable Lubrication
Lubricate control cable ends at the intervals recommended in the periodic maintenance table
beginning on page 137.
NOTICE: External casings are factory-lubricated. Additional lubrication could be detrimental to cable
performance.
Verify proper routing and smooth movement. Inspect for damage to the external casing, and
inspect exposed cable wire for fraying, kinks or corrosion. Replace any damaged, sticky or
sluggish cable.
1. Disconnect the cable at the clutch lever and at the primary cover.
2. Lubricate the ball and barrel ends with VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equivalent.
3. Reconnect the cable and adjust freeplay as needed.
