I installed the SS cables from Harley. They both seemed to have same system.
Those original OEM cables are on the wall in a big clear plastic bag. Bottom of bag has a noticeable amount of lubricant that has drained out of clutch cable.

Think he was referring to the inside of the twist grip. Maybe not. And yes, like I said, Harley has a very light silicon grease in post 2 for throttle grip.
And yes, they say lube the cable. But if you leave the cable liner dry, it will require a lot less maintenance. Once lubricated, it's like dumping oil in a key hole. It gums it up. That liner doesn't need lubrication.
If it's tight, yes I would lube it. And only if it was tight or lubricated in the past. Most Harley OEM cables have that liner. The optional SS braided ones I have seen don't. Lot of variables going on.
Interesting how you offered no help but once the user said what helped and advertised his grips, you offered your troll post. Bye
