CABLE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following
recommendations are given as guide to you help install and set-up your cables
and make
sure you get
the best from Venhill products.
INSTALLING A NEW CABLE
• Note the
routing of the original cable.
• Check that
the overall dimensions are the same as the old one. Inner cable lengths may be
slightly
different, as the old cables will have stretched slightly over time.
• Before
installing the new cable, hold the cable upright and use a few drops of a light
3 in 1 oil or equivilent to
lubricate the
inner cable. Move the inner up and down to ease the oil down the cable.
• When the new
cable is ready to be fitted, route the cable carefully and in most cases, as
per the
old cable, Make
sure the cable will comfortably reach its intended connection.
• If the
original cable routing is via a heat source, make sure that there is a suitable
gap between
the cable and
the heat source.
• If cables
ties are required to route the cable, leave them loose allowing the cable to move.
Too
tight and they
will restrict the operation of the cable and its ability to move with the
handlebars.
• For Push-Pull
/ Open-Close throttle cables, always connect and adjust the pull/ open cable
first
where possible.
• Where nipples
require lubrication in levers or linkages, use a small amount of copper grease.
Avoid using
heavy greases as these will attract dirt, restrict the movement of the nipple
and cause
excessive wear
and stress on the nipple and cable.
• When the
cable has been installed, check the steering lock to lock and check the
operation of the
cable at both
extremes of steering. Check that the cable does not go tight and that operation
is
not impaired.
If one of the above is true, check the cable routing, adjustment and that all
the
nipples are
located properly.
MAINTENANCE
Cable
maintenance is essential to prolong the life of the cable and maintain the
operation of the cable.
• MX bikes –
After a race meeting or as often as possible after power washing, remove the
cables
from the bike
and flush through with WD40 or equivalent. Keep flushing them through until the fluid runs
clear.
Once clean,
lubricate the cable again with a light 3 in 1 oil and check the cable routing.
Also
lubricate
nipples where required with Copper grease.
• Trail/Trial bikes –
When servicing or after power washing, remove the cables from the bike and
flush
through with
WD40 or equivalent. Keep flushing them through until the fluid runs clear.
Once clean,
lubricate the cable again with a light 3 in 1 oil and check the cable routing.
Also
lubricate nipples
where required with Copper grease.
• Road bikes –
At the beginning and end of the summer, remove the cables and flush through
with
WD40 or equivalent. Once
clean, lubricate the cable with a light 3 in 1 general purpose oil and
lubricate nipples
where required
with Copper grease. Note barrel nipples must be free to rotate in the lever
blade.
Do not use
heavy engine oils, chain lubricants or grease to lubricate cables as this will
attract dirt,
increase cable
wear and reduce the operation of the cable. Remember: Cables are a service item
and
should be replaced at regular intervals.
If you are in any doubt about replacing or installing a cable, please consult your nearest qualified motorcycle mechanic.
