Cable Lube???

    Hi all,

    I'm getting ready to install my new Kuryakyn grips. The supplied instructions tell me to lube the throttle grip and cables as per the workshop manual. While I'm at it I will do the clutch lever and cable also.

    The manual says:

    Apply a light coat of graphite to the handlebar

    Q 1. Will graphite powder be the go?

    Put one or two drops of SUPER OIL (Part No. 94968-85TV) into the housing of each cable.

    Q 2. What is SUPER OIL and why only a couple of drops? In the past, on my non HD bikes, I used ATF with a gravity feed setup (something my old man taught me).

    Thanx for the help guys. I lubed my cables and throttle on the weekend as well as put on my new grips.

    Everything works like it's supposed to (just like a bought one) and the grips look great.
