    Speedo and tach cable lube

    My manual doesn't state what to use? On cars I used to use dry graphite lube. Worked great.

    What do you guys use?

          spray white lithium grease is what I use in the spinning type of cables.
          flush the dirt out with brakes cleaner first and 1 lubeing will really last a long time . as long as a tire at least

          I have a force spray attachment and use it in a heavy load clutch cable too.

          for the choke and throttle I like a light oil 6-1 bel rey spray can

          I think the chain wax is too sticky and grabby at least for me.
          SUZUKI , There is no substitute
