MAINTENANCE
Lubricate Control Cables
The following cables used on the motorcycle require periodic maintenance and inspection to ensure smooth
operation and maximum service life:
S
Throttle Cables
S
Mechanical Clutch Cable
NOTE: The control cable casings are lined with a low friction sleeve and are factory lubricated for reliable operation. Further internal
lubrication is not required and could be detrimental to cable performance. Only cable ends must be periodically lubricated
in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
1. Inspect cable for proper routing, smooth movement and for damage to the external casing. Inspect the exposed
cable wire for fraying, kinks or corrosion. Replace any damaged cables or cables that are sticky or sluggish to
return.
2. For throttle cables, disconnect cable at the throttle body and apply a light film of VICTORY All Purpose Grease
or equivalent to the barrel end.
3. For the mechanical clutch cable, disconnect cable at the clutch lever and at the primary cover and lubricate the
ball and barrel ends with VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equivalent.
4. Reconnect the cables and adjust freeplay as necessary.
