Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati Streetfighter Owner's Manual

Lubricating 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. Work the controls to make sure
the cables slide smoothly inside the sheaths: if you feel any
friction or jamming, have the cable replaced by a Ducati
Dealer or authorised Service Center.
To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable, unscrew
the two retaining screws (1, fig. 75) to open the case and
then grease cable ends and pulley with SHELL Advance
Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.
E
Warning
Close the case carefully after threading the cables onto
the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to 10 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of side stand joint, clean off any
dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points exposed to
friction.
