- Lubricate the cables regularly. This will help to reduce friction and prevent the cables from becoming stuck. You can use a cable-specific lubricant or a light oil.
- Make sure the cables are routed correctly. If the cables are routed incorrectly, they can bind and become stuck. Refer to the motorcycle service manual for the correct routing.
- Inspect the cables for damage. If the cables are damaged, they can become frayed and bind. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
- Keep the motorcycle clean. Dirt and grime can build up on the cables and cause them to stick. Make sure to clean the motorcycle regularly, especially after riding in dusty or wet conditions.
If you follow these tips, you can help to keep the clutch and brake cables on your motorcycle from sticking and ensure that your bike performs properly.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:
- If the cables are still sticking after you have lubricated them, you may need to adjust them. Refer to the motorcycle service manual for instructions on how to adjust the cables.
- If you are riding in dusty or wet conditions, you may want to spray the cables with a water-resistant lubricant. This will help to protect the cables from the elements.
- If you are not going to be riding your motorcycle for a long period of time, you may want to disconnect the cables. This will help to prevent them from becoming stuck.
