Lubricating joints The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle 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 your Ducati Dealer or Authorised Workshop. To prevent these failures it is best to remove the cover by unscrewing the two fastening screws (1, fig. 48) and then grease the cable end and the pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2. Warning When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cable properly onto the suitable pulley. Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1). To ensure smooth operation of side stand joint, clean off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points exposed to friction (1, fig. 48a). 1 E fig. 48 fig. 48a 61
