How do you lubricate a dirt bike throttle cable?
It is perfectly fine to use a fine spray lube like WD40 or CRC. Also, if the throttle tube is damaged you will need to replace it. Slide the throttle tube onto the bar end and attach the cable – if you remove the throttle pulley it will make the job easier.Click to see full…

People also ask, what can I use to lubricate motorcycle cables?A mix of powdered graphite and WD-40 also works well for a lot of motorcycles or simply ask for a recommendation at your local motorcycle shop for getting the best lubricant for your particular motorcycle’s cables. You should never use chain lubricant on a cable.Additionally, what is the best lubricant for motorcycle cables? I would recommend that anyone using a motorcycle or bicycle with cable controls lubricate their cables with PJ1 Cable Lube. I’ve always sworn by PJ1 cable lube. It has great longevity, smells good, and the bubbling action really clears out dust/grit from cables as you pump it through with a cable-luber. Similarly, you may ask, can you use wd40 on throttle cables? WD-40 is a lot thinner than cable lube/grease. It evaporates quickly and will likely not stay in the cable for long. If the cable was sticking due to corrosion/rust WD-40 would help break it free but I would not use it as a lube replacement. You should look into a non-aerosol cable lube.What can I use as cable lube?DuPont TriFlow and DuPont Silicone/Tefelon spray is very good for cable lube.
