Lubricating cables and joints
The condition of the outer throttle cables should be checked
at regular intervals. The outer cables should show no signs
of kinking or cracking. Operate the controls to make sure
the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer cables: if
you feel any friction or catching, have the cable replaced
by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.
To prevent problems, periodically open the twistgrip
housing by unscrewing the two screws (1, fig. 50.1) and
lubricate the ends of each control cable and the races
with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.
Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 6 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot,
remove any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 to all
points subject to friction (1, fig. 50.2).
