June should be good. Hopefully it will be warm by then.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like a project for this weekend. The front crash bar is right in the way of where the cable should go so I wonder if that may increase the need for lube.
So, Greenbarn; when are we going to have a North-Central Ohio mini Drift-in? Won't be long & we'll be ready to ride!

Won't be long & we'll be ready to ride!I was actually thinking it would be nice to do that. I didn't get it done last year, but thought I'd like to get a group together this summer sometime. My personal preference would be to wait until about June.

- April 16, 2014, 18:14:57 PMLubing 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...
