Re: [St] Sticky throttle cable



I didn't actually do the work, but I do know the gas tank has to come
out.  I can't comment on the difficulty level of lubing the Sprint
cables, I've only done it on a less faired bike and it wasn't too bad.
Just took a bit of time.  WD40 to kill the moisture and silicon spray to
lube.  But there may be better options, I used what I had.

Jeremy, 

How easily is that lubrication done?
