Lubricating cables and joints
It is necessary to periodically check the
control cable and cold cable external sheath for
wear. Their external plastic sheath should be free of
cracking or Work the controls to make
sure the cable slides smoothly inside the sheath: if
you feel any friction or catching, have the cable
replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorised Service
Centre.
For trouble-free operation, periodically lubricate the
ends of all Bowden cables with SHELL Advance
Grease or Retinax LX2.
As far as the cable is concerned, it is
recommended to undo the two screws (1) and open
the control, then grease the cable end and the pulley.
Carefully close the control engaging the
cable in the pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1) to a torque
of 1.8 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.
