It says "Do not lubricate" Seems easy enough to me.

 

WayI read it, it's saying the cables are prelubed and don't need to be lubed during the install process. But when maintenance is needed use a silicone lubricant.

But I'll call them to make sure.

 

Lubricating cables is a neccessity. All cables come prelubed; but will need to be lubricated at some point in their life.

If you ride in the rain or wash your bike the water can and will get into the cable and, over a period of time, cause problems.

The problem with lubes such as dri-slide is that it seeps through the braids of the cable an will discolor the teflon coating (outside of cable)

Use of petroleum based lubes being a problem is hogwash. The end of the cable is in transmission lubricant, which is petrolem based, and does get into the cable housing.

The way I fixed this on my '09 FLHTCU was to install a HD cable from '07 and get rid of all that bullshit teflon this and that.

Technology is a wonderful thing. But when companies change things just to change them it usually means they are making an attempt to save money on production costs.

ie: what was so wrong with the function os an 1157 (brass base) brake light bulb that we had to change to a 3157 (plastic base) bulb???

 

You're correct, I read too fast or more correctly didn't read closely enough the part about lubing with silicone based lube. I have 2 types, light and heavy silicone lubes, I don't even know if they make the light anymore and the heavy aint very heavy!
