Title: That's handy
Post by: darrsi on 21 January 2015, 05:02:10 pm

Found an empty oil dispensing bottle in my drawer at work, with the angled needle type end, so took it home thinking it'll come in useful one day.

Turns out it's exactly the right size to fit down the inside of the clutch cable.

Squeezed some 3-In-One oil down the hole whilst pumping the lever, then left the bike on the centre stand overnight with the steering on right hand lock and I woke up to a freshly lubed clutch cable, without even having to remove and adjust it.
You can get them on Ebay for a few quid.

Happy days.  :D

I doubt very much it will hurt anything in my opinion.
