Lube the chain and clutch cable, and apply some grease to the cable ends. Give everything a thorough inspection. If you adjust them now, you won’t forget it in the spring! It’s a good time to lube the throttle cables as well, but this is definitely one of those things that are best left to those mechanically inclined. Any wrong moves with the throttle cables could be dangerous. Remember to make sure all cable function properly.
If you are going to fog the cylinders, you can leave the throttle cables until you get the tank off for that.

Bernie,
Thanks for this (took Maint 101 last year). I followed your instructions last year and woke the beast in the spring with no problems - many thanks.
Question for you:
- do you have any videos (like the one you did for lubing the chain which I've found really helpful) for lubing the clutch cable/throttle cable and cable ends? I'm not exactly sure how to go about it, so any advice would be great.
Thanks
Matthew
I have forwarded off your request to my videographer. Dat! If we can we will.
