    I was wondering if you guys remove the pins to lubricate them? Also do you use the "Super oil" mentioned in the manual or some other?



    Thanks

    Anti-seize is great. I also use the recommended cable oil with the long needle to get down into the cable. Don't need a whole lot.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Was just putting my bike to bed for the winter :( and thumbing through the manual to learn what should be done. I haven't got to the part about lubricating the cable yet but I'm sure it's in there.

    An Oil battery operator..........We have oil fields up here in Alberta the same as you do down in Texas. An Oil battery operator basically produces the stuff. Right from pumping it out of the ground to shipping it down the pipeline as clean oil to refineries and such. they are also responsible for treating it so that it meets sales specifications (removing the water, solids etc).

    Up here we call them "operators". I believe you folks down south of the border call them "pumpers"
