Great class, Ari. Old - School is useful to people hasn't access or to buy a special tools, perfect! Good job pal!

That make shift funnel is so old school I love it haha =P

Totally stoked to have found your tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post your videos. Cheers

I like your simple, to-the-point style. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks a ton for this. This is exactly what I need to get my pesky old clutch to work again

Clear, simple and right! Outstanding useage of the medium!

I'm liking the old school tips!👍

Great channel this is Ari, and you're a top presenter too. Your lubing technique is perfect. My thoughts on cables, particularly the clutch cable, is this. I had an XJ900 for 33 years and I never had to lube the clutch cable in all that time. The clutch operation was smooth throughout all those years. The reason I think was that the bike was fitted with a wee rubber gaiter over the cable adjusting barrel which prevented debris from getting in the cable in the first place. I did have a throttle cable break though, as water can find its way in those cables easier than a gaitered clutch cable. Cheers.

Awesome video. I love that you give both methods.

Thank you so much for such another killer vid! Cheers!

Thank you. I used motorcycle lube on my Boom Vader. Made a world of difference.

Thank you so very much. My neighbor's hood release was not working. I had one of these oilers from years ago and almost forgot about it. We used it and it got the cable free within a couple of minutes. Very valuable tool. Thanks again.

thanks a lot for the tip, greetings from Germany :)

Really loved the plastic funil! Sooooo simple, fast, and useful. Thanks for that hint, and congrats for the great jod!

Great video dude!

Well, been wanting to know how to do this. thanks

After watching this video, I bought the Motion Pro luber shown. It's completely useless. Pretty much all the spray I injected just came right out the side of the luber where the cable inner cable comes out. I put it on and off about 10 times, tightening it various amounts, sprayed a lot of lube and none ever came out the other end of the cable. Finally I gave up and used the plastic bag method and had the lube out the other end in about 10 seconds. The luber was $10 I won't see again.

Thanks for this comment, I've had the exact same experience with a Motion Pro luber on a different bike. I did manage to lubricate the cable with it in the end but nothing ever came out of the other end and it made a big mess. It's good to know someone has had more success with the plastic bag method, so I can do that if I have to.

I find using some eletrical tape on whichever side is leaking helps seal the cable to the tool better, and it will then pressurise enough to push the cable lube down through, never not worked for me yet

A friend gave my a tool chest with odds n ends tools cheap pliers, half socket set, 10yrs ago. I remebered seeing this cable luber tool on the batch, i didnt kno what it was till this vid! To my surprise i just found it again! Saved $10!

good video. i like hope your lub tool has 2 tightening knobs. mine only has 1. I think two would deal onto the inner and outer cables better.

Very helpful, never would of thought of using a little bag and a rubber band!

Thanks again for a great video, sure hope you keep bringing out these to help us with maintaining our bike. To your knowledge, is it safe to use a cable lube like the Motion Pro one you use on all types of cables? For some reason I thought some cables needed a dry lube like a graphite? Am I imagining things?

I definitely like method #2. Less screwing around, the better!

u r great guys.thx a lot.

thanks for the video, lots of misconception on the internet. I've got 2 questions 1. does white lithium grease work well for a clutch? 2. do I need to lube a new clutch cable? how many miles should I put on it before lubing it?

Thank you👍🏻

Very good video bro

you can also use a syringe and a needle. good times!

Already have Rem Oil with teflon for the guns. Should work just fine.

Awesome

Old school, no other way for me. Thanks

i have a cableoiler tool like this wich is over 20 years old bought it when i was a teenager :-) .... only difference the new one have 2 adjuster screws the old one only one... still works fine

Thanks man

brilliant

Great vid. For speedo and tach drives would motor oil be the better choice?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the videos. What if the cables are filthy and need cleaning before lubing? what to use for cleaning?

just keep spraying the lube through until it's clean, or lube it more frequently so it can push out the dirt.

Does lubing fix hanging idles on 2 stroke throttle cable that attaches to the top of the carb? Jetting and airmix screw is fine. Another one i suspect is the idle screw itself if it needs changing. Thanks

You could also put the nozzle up to the cable end and form modeling clay around the end and force the lube through .

Are there any environments where you should use a different type of lubricant, such as hot humid coastal or tropical environments?

I need a vid to show how to get the cable out. lubing it looks easy.

good

I had a locked clutch cable and went for the Motion Pro lube and cable luber. None of them worked, even soaking the cable for 2 days. I waste more than 20 dollars and the cable was only 16 brand new. If the cable is locked, get a new one. If it needs lubing only, don't waste your money on the tool. A simple syringe will do the job.

best forearms in the business ! :-P

Is it sure that we can lube while the cable is on the bike handle with the motion pro cable luber?

Ari,for the throttle cables, do I need to catch the excess lube that is going somewhere at the lower end behind the air box?

Hey good video bro! - Can I use WD40 to lub my clutch cable of my Motocycle? Thanks bru. Greatings from Aus.

sorry to ask but will this work with a cable within a cable type clutch?

If this is done with the tool while the bottom end of the cable is still left in place on the bike, how does the lube and gunk come out of the cable?

Used thing years ago. Cables still wear inside. Nylon coated stuff comes off inside the housings and jam stuff up. I now have fly by wire. If they had cables I would have the expenses of buying new cables and more upkeep to deal with ..

2:10 so i dont have to take off the clutch cable from the bike? How would you know you put enough lube in? Sorry, its going to be my first time doing this...i just want to make sure. I have a 1997 kawasaki kdx 220..does the specific type of motorcycle require any different clutch cable lubing instructions? Thanks. Love your vid btw

just on the end should work, but if you don't see oil come out the other end, there's no way to know for certain that the entire cable is lubed.

The penetrants can degrade the inner cable lining. Some cables just have wound steel for a lining while others have a teflon or plastic sheath that can break down in the presence of the solvents mixed into penetrating lubes.
