Lubricating cables and joints
Check the outer sheath of the throttle control cables
for damage at regular intervals. Their external plastic
sheath should be free of cracking or flattening.
Work the controls to make sure the cables slide
smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or
catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer
or Authorised Service Centre.
To avoid inconvenience, as far as the throttle cable is
concerned, it is recommended to undo the two
screws (1) and open the control, then grease the
cable end and the pulley (2) using SHELL Advance
Grease or Retinax LX2 grease.
Warning
Carefully close the control after engaging the
cable in the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to a torque
of 10 Nm.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the side stand
joint, thoroughly clean it and then use SHELL Alvania
R3 grease to lubricate all friction points.
