Guy I've lifted my bike in and out of pick ups before alone , not everybody is a spanking new mid life crisis rider some of us been doing this a very long time . Laying it over to lube cables that need changing not lube is a dumbass newb move period .
And then the OP posting about it was even dumber, lol
With the new style of plastic coated and plastic lined cable a cable lube will do more harm than good. If the cable is hanging up replace it.
You DO realize that the way the clutch cable enters the transmission, the lower end of the cable is BELOW the fluid level in the tranny, and is, therefore, always oiled.
I've been oiling my clutch cables for 30 years with no ill effects. I use the same oil I use in the tranny.
The guy that laid his bike on its side to lube the cables, wins the DUECHE NOZZLE of the month award for May, and its only May 2nd.
OK, it's too late at night to stifle myself. Is a Dueche Nozzle a BMW part? 'Cuz if it's for a female part it's spelled 'douche'. But I'll go along with the award.
