I know some clutch cables have a teflon coating. Why not speedometer cables? That said, what's everyone's favorite cable lube? I've used engine oil, Dri-slide, Cable Life and Finish Line lubes. The bike's I own now have electronic speedometers. But, I'm still curious.   eddie in Ga.       Yeah. Bad cable. 5 minute fix. -Jeff Khoury ----- Original Message ----- From: eddiebmauri@...

Not sure it is Teflon that some clutch cables actually use but some do use a plastic sleeve that helps this cable work smoother.  A speedometer cable has different requirements than a clutch cable.  The speedometer cable is never under a heavy load like the clutch cable but is always moving when the bike is moving.  Speedometer cables would wear through a liner in pretty short order and the smoothness isn t required like a clutch cable is.  Clutch cables are lubed with a heavy grease, to protect the cable from moisture and for lubrication.  If your speedometer cable is coming apart, most likely the outer housing has a crack, cut or has been damaged to allow moisture inside to corrode the inner cable and housing.  You can replace just the inner cable but if you have corrosion going on, the cable will have to be replaced as an assembly.   To lube your speedometer cable, I use a grease like Bel Ray Waterproof Grease and use a small dollop in my hand to drag the inner cable through.  This same grease works well on the speedometer drive gears too.

Lubricating a speedometer cable is not Rocket Science. Any good grade of grease should work fine and any lubrication is better than no lubrication. A Marine grade grease just offers more protection. Bel Ray Waterproof Grease is also recommended for marine applications.

What I like better about Bel Ray Waterproof Grease is that it is cheap and easily available in most fine motorcycle shops (including mine). I can get this grease at dealer prices. YMMV To a speedometer cable, I doubt there is a dimes worth of difference between grease Brand X and Brand Y or Z. The speedometer cable is such a low stress environment, that any grease will work and like I said, any grease is better than no grease. If you want to have a lab do a study on which grease is best for your speedometer cable, good luck and let me know what you find out.
