Hello Bro's i just wanna share my simple trick on lubricating your control cables on your bike, The owner's manual recomends that our cable's need to be lubricated every 3000 kms. my bike already runs at 12,000 so i think its about the time that cable should get their dose of oil.,
so first prepare the needed tools
here's what we need
View attachment 19252 ice bags (the ones used for making ice in the ref), rubber bands , and engine oil (not included in the pix)
1.; remove the headlight to expose the cables, also remove the throttle cables from the throttle and the clutch cable from the clutch lever as shown here
View attachment 19253 2.;View attachment 19254 using the rubber band, tie off the ends of the rubber cover on the throttle cable, this serves a seal to prevent the oil leaking from this part
3.;
View attachment 19255 then cut off the sealed ends of the plastic bags and insert the cables onto them like the one above, using the rubber bands tie them off securely to avoid oil leaking from the bags
View attachment 19256make sure that there are no obstructions on the cable entrance to aid oil in entering the cables like the one above.
4.; Now for the fun part; Pour oil into the plastic bags, just a small amount not like this one because this is too much. hehehe
View attachment 19259 check if there is an oil leak in the bag, and if there is, tie another rubber band to the bag,.
5.;
using a piece of string, hang the bag so you can use your hands in the other bagsView attachment 19261
6.;
Gently squeeze the bag to force oil into the cables.,do not over squeeze or the bag or it will rupture.
7.;
youre work is almost finished when you see oil dripping from the other side of the cable like this.
and this
8.;
then cut off the bag and pour the oil.,
now all that's left to do is install everything in place, make a dry run, wipe off any excess oil from the cables, and wash your hands...
Thanks for viewing brothers
hope this trick will help...ride safe, pray hard!!!
