If youa re lazy jsut frab a glob of grease, pull in the lever and stick the glob of grease on the cable. IT should melt and run down the cable. THis si a friends trick for lubing the clutch.

Use 'synthetic' oil, if your cable is made of 'synthetic' steel.
Use 'real' oil, if your cable is made of 'real' steel.

If you're not 100% sure what it is made from, this would be 99.99% of the ppl, then use 'dry slide', liquid graphite, etc. for BEST results. But any lube is better than none.

+10 on Dri-Slide. Oils attract dirt and wind up getting sticky.
