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. 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 Authorised Service Centre.
To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable,
unscrew the two retaining screws (1, fig. 73) to open
the case and then grease cable ends and pulley with
SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.
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.
