oiling clutch cable

It is advisable to first make sure your clutch is adjusted at the primary first, however. Remove the Derby cover and you'll see an Allen screw dead-center of the clutch basket with a lock-nut around it. Loosen the lock-nut while holding the Allen screw, then turn the screw in by hand or very lightly with the Allen wrench 'til it stops, then back off 1/2-turn (CCW). Hold the Allen screw in that position while tightening the lock nut firmly without over-tightening. Spec is 72-120 in. lbs., but since torquing is difficult on this nut because a socket won't fit while holding the screw, I just tighten firmly with a box-end wrench being careful not to over-tighten. If you want to torque the nut I think you'd have to use a crow foot.
