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

Lubricating cables and joints

Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cables for
1
damage at regular intervals. The outer plastic cover should
not be flattened or cracked. Work the controls to make
sure the cables slide smoothly inside the sheaths: if you
feel any friction or jamming, have the cable replaced by a
Ducati Dealer or Authorised Workshop.
To avoid this kind of problem, unscrew the two retaining
screws (1, fig. 50) to open the case and then grease cable
E ends and pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax
LX2 grease.
Warning
Close the case carefully after threading the cables
fig. 50
onto the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to 6 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of side stand joint, clean off
any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease at all points
exposed to friction (1, fig. 50a)
