Lubing a speedo cable..Take it off, take it apart. Some Japanese cables cannot be disassembled...Subaru and Suzuki are pretty well known for that. CLEAN the cable AND the housing, inside, WD-40 is ok for this. Use either speedo cable lube (yes, there really is something for this job) or white lithium grease (lubriplate). Don't lube the last couple of inches of the cable at the speedo end...you don't want grease to migrate up the cable into the speedo head.....Check for rubber seals or "O" rings on the cable ends, and the condition of the housing itself. If you can see the steel housing wire, then water can get in...and no KINKS...

I haven't greased mine yet - next time it's apart, though.

  I use Marine grease, added some at both ends and then at the top added a bit more and pushed it down.

I noticed that the speedo cable seemed a little noisy this weekend. What do you guys use to lube your speedo cables?
