Cable lubricating has many aspects and much advice. confuse

This site CLICKY  has good information on cable lubrication and many other motorcycle tasks.

Personally I use WD40 and copious quantities of engine oil together with a dollop of grease around the lower cable end to delay the effects of gravity on the oil.  wink

 Ask and you will be answered !

Gadgets

Iv'e had my gadget for years, still works great

I use Inox MX3, the lanox is also very goodboth like like WD40 but way better, won't dry out and evaporate, if you can't get it in the UK there are lots of differnt gun lubes about, I use it on my AirRifle and it stays oily for months

Have fun biggrin

In the old days I used to make a little funnel made of plasticine around the cable and fill it with 3 in 1 !
