Lubricating cables and joints Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cables for damage at regular intervals. The outer plastic cover should not be flattened or cracked. Operate the controls to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly inside the outer sheath: if you feel any friction or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center. To avoid this kind of problem with the throttle cable, unscrew the two retaining screws (1, fig. 79), to open the case and then grease cable end and pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 grease. 1 Warning Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the cable in the pulley. Refit the housing and tighten the screws (1) to 10 Nm. To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot, remove dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points. fig. 79 115
