sure this is on here somewhere, because I know I have seen it, but what should be used to lube the clutch cable? Thanks Quinn |

I picked up a nice bottle of Dri-Slide multi-purpose lubricant. came with a nice long needle so I can even get it in some tight spaces (like inside the end of the clutch cable). Here's the description from their site: Dri-SlideŽ Molybdenum Disulfide based dry lubricants are formulated for use in harsh environments, at extreme temperatures, and under extreme pressures. Dri-SlideŽ lubricants go on wet, penetrating even the smallest spaces, and then stay on dry, withstanding pressures exceeding 100,000 psi. Dri-SlideŽ lubricants provide long-lasting dry film protection, do not attract dirt, dust, or other airborne contaminants, retard rust and corrosion, repel moisture, and provide excellent acid fume protection. |

Is it best to go with a dry lubricant vs an oil? will gunk build up on with oils? |

You can use it with or without - I just found it nice to have the needle around if I want it. I got mine from my Buell dealer in NH. |

Another very good dry-film lubricant/corrosion inhibitor is Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide. It was designed for use on firearms and knives. I recommend it to people who buy knives that I make, some of which aren't stainless. This stuff lasts, and lubricates very well. I also use it on car doors, house doors, etc. |
