Lubricating cables and joints
The condition of the outer sheath of the throttle/cold start
cables should be checked at regular intervals. The sheath
should show no signs of squeezing or cracking. Work the
controls to make sure the inner cables slide smoothly
inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard spots,
have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized
Workshop.
To prevent these failures, for the throttle cable, it is best to
open the throttle control by unscrewing the two fastening
screws (1, fig. 71) and then grease the cable ends and the
pulley with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.
Warning
When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cables
onto the suitable pulley.
Reinstall the cover and tighten down the screws (1) to
10 Nm.
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint, clean off
any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points exposed to
friction.
