FAQs
What type of lubricant should I use with the Apico Cable Oiler Dual?
It is recommended to use a high-quality, lightweight cable lubricant specifically designed for motorcycle cables. Avoid heavy greases that can attract dirt and impede flow.
How often should I use the cable oiler?
Frequency depends on riding conditions and mileage. A general guideline is every few thousand miles or when you notice any stiffness in the cable operation. Inspect cables regularly.
Can this oiler be used on brake cables?
This oiler is typically designed for clutch and throttle cables. Brake cables often require different maintenance procedures and specific lubricants. Consult your motorcycle's manual.
What does 'dual' refer to in the product name?
The 'dual' designation signifies its ability to service two cables, or to provide a more thorough oiling process for a single cable.
Is any assembly required?
No assembly is typically required. The Apico Cable Oiler Dual is ready to use out of the box after initial cleaning.
Where can I find the manufacturer part number?
The manufacturer part number (MPN) is CABLE OILER2, as indicated in the product details.
Troubleshooting
Lubricant not entering the cable
Ensure the oiler is securely clamped and the cable entry point is clean. Check for any kinks or damage in the cable itself. Use a lighter-weight lubricant if necessary.
Oiler leaks lubricant
Verify that the oiler is properly sealed around the cable. Ensure no excess lubricant is being applied. Check for any cracks or damage to the oiler body.
Stiff operation persists after oiling
The cable itself may be damaged internally or require replacement. The oiler ensures lubrication, but cannot fix a physically compromised cable.
