Alright my nifty little cable tool came in from ebay and I have to say that it made it easy to degrease and lubricate my throttle cables and my clutch cable.  My only question is how often should I grease the cables.  Im thinking once a year are until they feel like they are sticking.  When I took that cover off to the throttle body omg at the grease that was all over in there.  After cleaning all that out she turns like a champ.

I would think that once a year is good. I have had mine for over 5 years and have only lubed them once haven't had any problems, but maybe I have been lucky.

Hey Ripster
Since it's only once a year, I'm pretty sure we can get 11 other people in on this and once a month, someone will send you a set of cables to clean and lube for us..
That way you won't get out of practice for your cables...
Sound Good!!!???  :lol:
