Where To Lube?
Hey All,
Yeah, that's a weird question...but hopefully got your attention.
Just enjoyed my first wrenching this weekend...oil, primary, tranny, head bearing, spark plugs. Awesome! Enjoyed it, can't wait to learn more.
So, bought one of those lube pens from Harley today. Has a needle tip. I know I can use it to lube the floorboard connections and highway pegs. Where else can I use it? In other words, where do I really need to make sure I lube with this pen? Levers (and where on the levers)?
Thanks for any info...and the more specific the better.

cables, shifter, bushings, anywhere that could rust. possibilities are endless.......but be careful if you squeeze it to hard you will blow the tip off and really lube something. ask me how I know... :-)

For the clutch cable I fabricate a paper funnel and pore in a mix of moly grease and motor oil letting it drain slowly into the cable until it starts to ooze out of the adjuster midway down the cable, but a good synthetic motor oil will work fine. This makes the cable super-smooth and I do it about once per year.
