Lubricating cables and joints

The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle cables
should be checked at regular intervals. The sheath should
show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the controls

to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the
sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop.

To prevent failure open the throttle control by unscrewing
the two fastening screws (1, fig. 48) then grease the cable
ends and the pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or
Retinax LX2.

onto the suitable pulley.

off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points
exposed to friction (1, fig. 48a).
