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 thottle control by unscrewing the two
fastening screws (1, fig. 57) 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.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1).
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint, clean
off any dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 at all points
exposed to friction.
