Lubricate Cables And Joints - Ducati Diavel Carbon Owner's Manual

Lubricate cables and joints

Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cables
for damage at regular intervals. The outer plastic
cover should not be flattened or cracked.
Operate the controls to make sure the inner cables
slide smoothly inside the outer sheath: if you feel any
friction or catching, have the cable replaced by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center.
To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable,
unscrew the two retaining screws (1), to open the
case and then grease cable ends and pulley (2) with
SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.
Attention
Carefully close the control after engaging the
cable in the pulley.
Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 10
Nm.
