Oiling Throttle cables

Post by Maty10 »

With the track day coming up this weekend, I was getting a little worried about how my throttle doesn't snap back. It rolls back fine, but its not a definite 'snap'.

So what do you use to oil your cables? Plastic bag over the nipple? Or the proper tool?

Not expensive, and speeds up the process somewhat.

Sure its not just something simple like the grip rubbing the housing ? :wink:
