speedo cable keeps breaking.
 
Well, the speedo cable broke on the way down the driveway:wallbash:

What do I need to use to lube the cable. Its a pain in the butt....

How many times has the cable broke? There is regular cable lube that is available at the local parts store.

It's about too be on number 3. Number one broke while on the highway. Number two broke on the way down the driveway. I am ordering number 3 tommorow.

Check the sheath for tight bends/kinks, they should not be breaking like that. You might even need to take it out and clean the inside of the sheath, brake cleaner will work.

I'll tell you how the new speedo cable goes after I do all of this.

Thanks for your help
