Speedo cable lube.

I'll be installing a new speedo cable core soon. What do you guys
recommend for lube?? The old cable broke right at the fitting where
exits the trans, there's a pretty sharp bend in the cable there where
it meets the frame-any suggestions??

Silicone grease. Comes in small squeeze tubes.

The graphite based speedo lubes are correct and the best choice. Not as sensitive to cold weather temps. Slippery, greasy, oily lubes result in the thin oil residue wicking its way up into the speedo.

Thanks guys-the busted core i pulled out was black greased (heavy)
so i expect i need to somehow remove all the #@%$ from inside of
the sheath 1st. Let's see what happens this weekwnd.
