Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1100 S Use And Maintenance Manual

Lubricating cables and joints

The condition of the outer throttle cables should be checked
at regular intervals. The outer cables should show no signs
of kinking or cracking. Operate the controls to make sure
the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer cables: if you
feel any friction or catching, have the cable replaced by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.
To prevent failure open the throttle control by unscrewing
the two fastening screws (1, fig. 56) then grease the
cable ends and the pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or
Retinax LX2.
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.
Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 6 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot,
remove any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 to all
points subject to friction (1, fig. 57).
