Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati Multistrada 2200S Pikes Peak Owner's Manual

Lubricating cables and joints

Check the outer sheath of the throttle and cold start
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
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting
the cable in the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to lbf ft (10
Nm).
