Lubricating cables and joints
The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and
fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals.
The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or
cracking. Work the controls to make sure the cable slides
smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard
spots, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop.
To prevent these failures, smear the end of the Bowden
cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at
regular intervals.
For the throttle cable, it is best to open the device by
unscrewing the two fastening screws (1, fig. 40) and
then grease the cable ends and the pulley.
Warning
When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cable
onto the suitable pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1).
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint, clean
off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points
exposed to friction.
