I have the same issue with mine. The plunger slides in and out of a rubber seal. Over time the plunger shaft/seal dries out. I use a paintball gun oil. It is 100% synthetic, non-toxic, won't freeze and won't harm o-rings or seals. It works good but I have to re-oil it every few months. Any food safe lubricant should work. The food safe part is not important on a motorcycle but they are designed for o-rings and seal usage.
Also, you should take the hand controls apart to get good access to plunger.
