Replacing clutch cable

I've had two Kawasaki's (ZX6 and ZX9) and they're notorious for going through clutch cables. Personally, I've never lubed them. Don't know if that was the right or wrong thing to do. I stopped going through cables when I found out a Suzuki GSX cable fits it. They stopped snapping then.

New cables are pre-lubed if they even need it. You can grease the nipples and adjuster at the end without issue - that's where most cables snap - not mid-run somewhere (...ever owned a Vespa ??
)
Some cables should never be lubed - e.g. on the old BMW K100's - lubing makes them worse and only encourages dirt to bind to the inner cable causing it to bind. I'm sure it's not the only one - modern materials should nearly work dry.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
