    Motion Pro sells both cable lube and a tool to get it into the cable housing:

        The MP cable lube and lube tool are the absolute best. You can find them at any motorcycle/go-kart/snowmobile/ATV/lawnmower shop. Once you've experienced the sheer smooooothness of properly lubed cables, you'll be addicted.

        For the shock tool, we'll need to know what kind of shocks you have. They might not be stock. Progressive, Ohlins, etc. all have their own style of spanner.

          Info on Lubing Cables

          Thanks for the info on lubing the cables.
          I'll look for it.

          With regard to my rear shocks they are stock.
          That would be for an 1981 GS 650 E chain drive.
          Any help on that spanner wrench would be welcome.

          Thanks again........
