QuoteBuy ATV cable lube. I have heard of people using motor oil twenty years ago but I see no reason to go that route. PJ1 makes cable lube and that is its only use... lubricating cables

QuoteI guess motor oil would do the trick, but like you said, there's really no point doing that. Shimano also makes a good cable lube from what I've heard.

QuoteJust use cable lube since it is designed for this use on your Arctic Cat cables. They also make universal cable lube tools that help guide the cable lube inside properly and they only cost a few bucks. You can get them online or at a dealer.

• Cable Lube Spray: Cable lube sprays are specifically designed to penetrate and lubricate the inner cables effectively. They often come in aerosol cans, making them easy to apply. These sprays typically have a low viscosity to ensure smooth cable movement and minimize friction.
• Cable Lubricating Fluids: Cable lubricating fluids are formulated to provide long-lasting lubrication for motorcycle cables. They are typically applied using a dropper or applicator bottle to ensure precise application to the cable ends. These fluids often have high lubricity and can offer excellent protection against corrosion.
• Silicone-based Lubricants: Silicone-based lubricants are popular choices for cable lubrication. They have good temperature stability, water resistance, and longevity. Silicone lubricants can also provide a smooth and slippery surface to reduce friction in the cables.
• Graphite Powder: Graphite powder is a dry lubricant that can be applied to motorcycle cables. It is known for its excellent lubricating properties and its ability to reduce cable friction. Graphite powder is typically sprinkled onto the cable or applied using a brush or cloth.
• Motorcycle Chain Lubricant: While primarily designed for chain lubrication, certain motorcycle chain lubricants can also be used for cable lubrication. They often have excellent penetration properties and can provide effective lubrication for cables as well.
