I would also put a bit of oil on the four locations behind each carb where the slotted plate slides, meaning the thing that the cable pulls on.
Now that you have mentioned it I think I'll give mine an oiling tomorrow.
:agree Most cables are PTFE lined these days fella so DON'T use WD40. Use 3 in 1 oil - tie a sandwich bag around the end of the clutch cable with a tight tie wrap then fill the bag with 3 in 1 oil. It takes a bit of time for the oil to run through. Another option is GT85 PTFE lube spray. Good luck :thumbup
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
