Lubricating cables and linkages
The condition of the outer cables of the throttle and starter
cables should be checked at regular intervals. There should
be no signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic
sheath. Operate the control to check that the inner cable
slides smoothly: if you feel any rubbing or catching, have the
cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or authorized Service
Centre.
To prevent these problems, periodically lubricate the ends
of each control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or
Retinax LX2.
In the case of the throttle cable, open the twistgrip housing
by unbolting the two bolts (1, fig. 61) and grease the end of
the cable and the race.
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.
Refit the housing and tighten the bolts (1) to 1.8 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot, remove
dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.
