I use bel-ray cable lube made for cables, along with a cable luber that clamps around and seals to force the lube into cable sleeve and purge the old out the other end. I use it on clutch and throttle

I use Tri-Flow on everything from cables, to chains, to tie rod ends. Stuff works GREAT!. Protected with teflon[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

WD 40 isn't good for much as a lubricant. It's what they use to displace ice on airliner wings.
