Clutch cable

[angus]

Had casing off bike to replace chain and sprockets and gave it a clean up the inside mechanism didn't move very freely and spring looked knackered.When new cable was installed adjusted to the max still slack on cable,I've a new spring ordered but in diagram i see a grease nipple what sort of grease would I use to put through the nipple to grease the inside parts.

I'm not familiar with a grease fitting in there but I have a twin. As to the cable it just might be a bit too long in which case you can think about perhaps rerouting it or putting a half loop in it and using some zip ties to keep it in place.

Which bike are we talking about? I use marine grease (the blue stuff) for mine which reminds me, I should do the GS soon

Molybdenum grease will be fine for the clutch actuator.
Might be worth unhooking the cable and winding the spiral drive out to check the little grease hole in there isn't blocked first.
If it looks a bit acky (technical term) in there, remove the whole actuator for cleaning out, it's only held in by two screws.
Shove a finger load of grease in there before winding it back in if it looks ok.
