You are correct. We seem to have missed that subject almost entirely. As I mentioned in an earlier thread yo do not have to lube a clutch cable if it has a Teflon sheath around it. Otherwise it should be lubed.The choke cable and the throttle cables should all get a little lube.
Years ago I would use Dextron ATF to lube the cables as it was more a cleaner and less of a lube. It did work very well to free up sticky cables and such. I would follow up later with a light oil and everything was just smooth and effortless.
Don't forget the speedo cable either. It turns whenever the wheel turns so it is a constant use item. Undo the speedo cable housing at the speedo head and pull out the inner cable. It will be ugly sticky and dirty. Clean it up with kerosine , dry it off and apply some DuPont with Teflon as you slide it back into the cable housing. Make sure the bottom end seats properly. To check this just push the bike around to see if the inner cable is turning. If it turns then reattach the top housing to the speedo head.
Another rarely lubed item is the speedo sending unit. To lube it you have to remove the front wheel so you may want to wait till a tire is due and then complete the job. Just lift off the sending unit and lube the parts, then reassemble it.The sending unit only fits in one way and if it is installed wrong you will break it so be careful.
I also lube the footpegs pivots, shifter mechanism, rear brake pivots, side stand and switch. All of these things should be smooth with no binding or catching. A little TLC makes a bike run happier and prolongs it's life.
I leave it up to some one else to write up How To's for throttle, clutch cable and choke cable lubing. I'm just making and correcting too many spelling mistakes today.
