Meticulous proactive care demonstrated by Stuart to all aspects of his motorcycle. Excellent

Sir you keep making these amazing service/repair videos of interceptor and soon you'll have many Indian subscribers which will be good for your channel :) I am part of two prominent motorcycle forums in India and your name has started pooping up on them

So that's how that darn thing is used. Seriously, these basic bits of maintenance are always overlooked. Thanks again Mr Fillingham.

Another excellent video explaining a simple, yet often neglected bit of maintenance. Thanks.

Thanks for this video. Now I know to put a protective rag around the lower end of the cable too. Ronn

I totally agree, bur I was put off, a long time ago, by one bike manual stated that the cable lining would swell and jam. It never did!

Picked up a 2000 SV650 for $1200 a year ago, been working through start and run issues, a little restyling, and thanks to you, I now know the correct way to use the cable luber, Thanks. Spring thaw in Vermont is April 15th on average, meanwhile I enjoy listening to the English language used nicely -- as if someone still reads books.

Great vid Stu, had one of these kicking around in my tool chest for years and never used it, todays the day it gets an outing :)

Stu thanks again! This channel is a must for any Triumph Bonny owner or new RE Interceptor 650 owner like myself... Looking forward to more.

Quite critical tips for smooth operations

I had this exact device some 40 years ago.

Simple and useful DIY stuff.. Cheers from India

I use a balloon and a strong elastic band. Put the oil in the balloon with a small funnel, put the balloon over the bottom end of the cable, seal it with the elastic band and squeeze. When the oil comes out at the top of the cable, stop.

Nice ,clear & simple instructions. Thank you, Stuart.

I love your videos and your advices! Thanks a lot for sharing us your experince.

There's an old trick that works with a lot of bikes. Instead of completely unscrewing the adjuster at the lever end, wind it all the way in to loosen the cable, making sure the slot in the adjuster lines up with the slot on the lever. Then squeeze the clutch lever and hold it. Then, while pulling outwards on the cable sheath just outside of the adjuster, slowly release the clutch lever. the sheath will slide out of the adjuster. Then thread the cable out through the slots in the lever and adjuster. To reassemble, run the cable into the slots, then rest the sheath on the large diameter portion of the adjuster. Squeeze the clutch lever, then release while pulling outwards on the sheath. Line everything up and it's done.

Thanks for the reminder Stu. The cables are a very often neglected service item. I can't ride for a few months yet because of my injuries, but I can manage that task with my one good hand! In my youth I used to form my own oiler out of plasticine, but the clamp is definitely the way to go!

Excellent demonstration and I thank you for posting it

Excellent and useful video.. once I had a bad experience of getting the clutch cable broken while driving in the city on the classic 500.. thank God I'm lucky to survive..🙏🏻

I always pull the nozzle off the can and simply put the cans little pipe at the top on the hole.Press the can to start squirting down the cable.

Mr Flyer, I rode for MORE than 50 years. I don't KNOW how many bikes I've had. "RED RENNA" & "Captain Rambunctious," are familiar with my texts. I absolutely LOVE, British Vertical Twins. I've had 3 Triumphs. I HAD, a Norton Commando 'S.' (The one with HIGH Pipes & a RING, around the headlight.) I had a couple BSAs. My MOST recent Triumph, was a 2001 HINCKLEY Bonneville. I CRASHED My HD Dyna StreetBob, a little more than 2yrs ago. I broke my ARM, MY HIP & a FEW RIBS. I HAVE Survived 6 Motorcycle Accidents. M/Cs are IN MY SOUL. I WANT ANOTHER Bonneville.

Good informative video. Thanks dear Stuart.

Saving this video for future reference! Thanks.

Great explanation, It looked like it did the job well 👍🏻

Thank you, from India 🙏

Great video, thanks for posting this. However, I would just point out that as you say cables are often lined with a low friction material. Injecting lubricant into a lined cable may cause the liner to swell and grip the inner cable which will eventually cause seizure. I have seen this on a few occasions over 50 years working in the motor industry.

thanks stuart.just bought one could not find my old one ..

Thanks again Stuart!

Bought one of those things about a year ago for, as you said, about a fiver just in case i needed it. Not used it yet but soon!

Great video sir

Spot On Video again Stuart, well DONE.

As always Sir, thank you! I'm ordering mine today!

I always wondered how these worked. Nice one.

Another brilliantly informative video Stuart 😃👍🏻

Informative and well explained video, keep up the good work. Enjoy your videos 👍

Great video had a go at this myself after watching, thank you! I seem to just be getting lube spraying out the near end of the clutch lever. Any tips or just persevere? Thank you!

I really like these bikes, the grips are a bit budget though. Nice explanation Stuart, I'll have a go.

Still prefer the funnel and 20/50 engine oil. Put the handlebar end of the cable about one inch into the narrow end of the funnel,tape it to make a seal,attach it to the bars,wide end up,and pour some oil into the funnel,leave overnight. Long lasting effect and pretty cheap. It's only reason a biker should be buying 20/50 oil in a "Discount Store".

Thanks Stuart👍got off of my butt and lubed the cable at last. You shamed me into it.

I’m getting one

Very informative, as usual, but how about identifying your background music? On a couple of your videos there have been tunes I'd like to find!

My clutch cable squeaks already at 300 miles.

Great video, but got me a bit panicked. I’ve never oiled my clutch cable - then I realised my Honda has a hydraulic clutch!

I can never ever get these to work! Never goes down the cable.... Great video though thank you

Are there different lengh cables if you have an adjuster , or don't ,??

I'm seeing cable oilers right now on Amazon that _look_ the same, for as little as £4.16 delivered, or similar for as little as £3.24 delivered. They may be worse/same/better, who knows.

Hi Stuart, I found the calcium grease at Toolstation Product code: 39217 £4.49. I like the idea of lubing cables with something a bit more effective, I have always used a small amount of silicon oil but it is very thin. Is this a product you have used for a while and know that, in say 6 months, it doesn't gum up. Cheers steve

Been driving bikes for 13 years and never knew i should lube the clutch cable. That explains a lot!! Delighted to be aware of this now

Seem to remember that teflon-lined cables don't need lubrication, and the oil can actually cause them to swell and bind. Or is that a myth?

Can you do a clutchless gear change on a royal enfield or is it old school gear selector

Would that be a similar procedure for the throttle cable?

Thanks Stuart. I will give this a go. Just a bit confused over which lube to use. The link to the lube on Amazon is that the white grease? Or did you use white lithium grease?

How about 90wt gear oil?

Ta for that , it's hamered it down for the last few days, the old Crf is under cover , but i might give the cables a bit of TLC. All the best from Khao Lak.

yi certainly don't want your clutchcable to just break- like

:)
