Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1000DS S Mode D'emploi

Lubricating cables and joints

The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle cables 1
should be checked at regular intervals. The sheath should
show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the controls
to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the
sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop.
E To prevent failure open the thottle control by unscrewing
the two fastening screws (1, fig. 50) then grease the cable
ends and the pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or
Retinax LX2.
Warning
When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cables
onto the suitable pulley.

Reinstall the cover and tighten down the screws (1) to 6 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint,
clean off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all
points exposed to friction (1, fig. 50a).
