How to lube your clutch cable part 1 NEW

[126Cyclops]

There is a much easier way to do this. Turn the handlebar leaver adjustment all the way IN, and align the adjuster slot with the slot in the leaver housing, then pull the leaver with one hand while applying a slight pulling force on the cable... quickly release the leaver and volia the cable is loose, then just move the cable out 90 degrees in front of the leaver and housing and drop the cable barrel out from the handle.

Say as much as possible again!

The other easy way to release the cable. Take off the leaver by undoing the single screw holding it on. Saves fiddling with your clutch adjustment ;-)

I followed these instructions. Gradually sprayed in an whole can of molybdenum disulphide grease - I was trying to keep going until I saw grease come out of the far end of the cable! But it never did. When I rode the bike it needed very little force to actuate the clutch, and the grab point is now much less vague. A big improvement, even if I'm not quite finished.

Gorgoeus bike! Love the colour. Typical deep Honda red!

Yup, did it this way and the cable came right out

An even quicker way to lube your clutch cable, is to turn the lever adjusters so the slit is pointing up. Pull the lever in, and pore some light viscosity oil into the slit and release the lever. Do this a few times and eventually the oil works its way down the whole cable. Then twist the adjusters downward when finished, stopping any water from getting in.

very informative videos. I am trying to work on my 1985 Nighthawk 650 right now but it needs some work.

It is a very clean bike but needs new brakes, carb rebuild and could use new tires but other than that it is a real nice bike. Thanks for the videos.
