Oh, okay. I got it. I think I can handle everything except the throttle cable. Where do you lube it? I can't see an opening anywhere. Do you have to unscrew the lock nut and the long adjusting nut to get to the actual cable? Thanks and sorry for being kind of slow about this. My bike is in really great shape and is running like a top, so I don't want to mess anything up in the process of doing maintenance.

I have disc brakes front and back so I would assume that you don't lube a hydraulic brake hose.

Thanks for the help. When you say lube the chasis are you talking about attaching a grease gun to the two nipples on the pivot point of the swing arm? Are there other nipples on the chasis? How exactly do you lube the cables (especially the speedometer and tach)? Do you just spray the silicon down the cable? Thanks again.

Just got a 1979 XS400F and I am trying to do some general maintenance. I changed the oil, oil filter, and plugs and tightened every nut and bolt I could find. Now for my questions about lubing: What do I need to lube? How do you lube it? - Specifically, the cables. How often should I lube it? The bike seems to be running well so I don't really want to mess with it too much, but are there any other general maintenace procedures that I should look into? Thanks.
