Bushing/grommet replacement?

[Darren S]

Noticed this little black grommet underneath where the standard airbox lies - that's clearly knackered. I think if I merely touched it, it would break in two and fall off.

Is it easily replaceable? If so - any idea of the part and what's involved?

Should I also lubricate anything around that area as it appears very dry.

Thanks.

Thats your handbrake cable.

Just leave it be, especially if it's OEM.

A little bit of lube won't hurt

Clutch?

Clutch?

Yes, clutch.

 

[Darren S]

Yes, clutch.

Yep - definitely not the handbrake.

Might just put some PTFE lube on there.

Wouldnt bother lubing it. Muck might stick to it.

Wipe on wipe off shouldn't have any issue. They've usually got a lovely layer of skeg on them anyway.

The longer you can keep the original cable the better. The genuine and aftermarket new ones are all s**t.
