LUBRICATION
Lubricating the Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move
the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Ret the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it
vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil
begins to escape from the bottom.
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape
it so that it seals against the sheath
and allow the cable to hang vertically
from the bag overnight. If you do not
succeed in lubricating the cable, it
must be replaced.
Throttle and Choke Cables, Lever
Bearings
Lubricate the cable ends by the carburetor with an oil
can. Move the controls to the end points and lubricate
again.
The throttle cable is also lubricated by the control when
the control console is removed.
The illustration shows the Kawasaki engine.
Shaft Bushings and Linkage
Lubricate the bearings of the shafts and linkage for the
brake system and steering with oil spray or oil can.
Front Wheel Mount
Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel
mount, until the grease is forced out.
Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.
Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
