Cable Lubricating??
Hey guys. I hope everyone has had a safe riding season. I hope all is well. Here lately my throttle cable, or idle cable has been sticking. When I let off it doesn't snap back like it should. I put the cables on last August. Do you think they need some lube? And does one go about that?

Hey Rob, Graphite works very well and there are also bottles of cable lube that you can buy from the dealer or Cycle Tech or other similar shops. Some of them come with an applicator to help make it easier to lube the cables with. It never hurts to lube the cables and if you havent done it yet NOW would be a good time to do it. It may or may not solve your problem but it sure wont hurt it either and it is something that needs to be done regularly. Give it a try and see what happens. Good luck with lubing the cables and ride safe out there Rob!

It's not the thumb screw. I've learned that lesson before. I'm going to pick up some lube tomorrow. I'm going to check the adjustments and go ahead and lube them. They just uncrated a Super Low. I'm anxious to see it.
