Is there a video where I can watch our clutch cable getting lubed?
And, for that matter, another one for lubing the speedometer cable?
Clutch Cable lubrication Video??

Lots of stuff about these topics on the web, if not right here. I recommend lubing all that cables as a matter of routine maintenance.

I'm not so interested in the actual lubing of the cables since, as you say there are plenty of videos as to how to do that. I'm more interested in the actual disassembly of the left/right handlebar control boxes to get at the cables in the first place.

I know, Nails. I corrected myself and changed it to "choke", which I actually meant.

Re: Clutch Cable lubrication Video??
Apologies. I'm just from the gym and fried right now.
Sections 2-8 and 16-8 of the manual have limited info. I've slept a few times since I got into this, but I don't remember it being especially difficult. IIRC, by the time you remove those two screws on the bottom and split the left switchset, the choke mechanism pretty-much falls apart. Note that one of those two screws has a bracket that supports the choke outer cable.
