Lubrication for a "Honda" clutch cable?
mattsz:
I'm reading that original Honda clutch cables shouldn't be lubricated. I bought an "NOS" cable from an ebay seller over a year ago, after he carefully measured to make sure it fits my '77 CB400 USA model. I can't find the listing or any info from that purchase now. If it's a true Honda cable, would it be labeled as such, either on the cable itself or in the packaging?
The cable says only, "MADE IN JAPAN." The sealed plastic bag it came in has this label inside:

"Honda" isn't actually written anywhere. Any advice about lubricating this cable?
Nurse Julie:
Well, the part number on the label, the 22870-377-710 is the correct number for THE OEM cable and Honda would never have actually made the cables themselves, so we just need to work out the manufacturer, anyone heard of KK?

The cable itself has no black coating. I'd understood that it was the lining of the cable housing that had the teflon... but I'm not sure where I got that information...
Bryanj:
Both inner and outer had linings and that aint a genuine Honda cable
Bryanj:
They do, but having bought TSK from Hi-Level they are not the same quality as genuine Honda, especially throttle ones but needs must at times
