Lubricating cables and linkages
The condition of the outer cables of the throttle and starter
cables should be checked at regular intervals. There should be
no signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic sheath.
Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides
smoothly: if you feel any rubbing or catching, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.
To prevent problems, periodically lubricate the ends of each
control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.
In the case of the throttle cable, open the twistgrip
housing by unscrewing the two screws (1, fig. 59) and
grease the end of the cable and the race.
Warning
Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the
cable in the race.
Refit the housing and tighten the bolts (1) to 1.8 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot, remove
dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.
