Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati Scrambler Owner's Manual

Lubricating cables and joints

It is necessary to periodically check the throttle
control cable and cold start cable external sheath for
wear. Their external plastic sheath should be free of
cracking or flattening. Operate the control to make
sure cable slides smoothly: have it replaced by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center if you find
friction or hard spots.
For trouble-free operation, periodically lubricate the
ends of all Bowden cables with SHELL Advance
Grease or Retinax LX2.
As far as the throttle cable is concerned, it is
recommended to undo the two screws (1) and open
the control, then grease the cable end and the pulley.
Attention
Carefully close the control after engaging the
cable in the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to a torque
of 1.8 Nm.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the side stand
joint, thoroughly clean it and then use SHELL Alvania
R3 grease to lubricate all friction points.
