Is there such a thing as "clutch lube"? If not what do you guys use? A friend told me I should lube my clutch since it was being all stiff... so yeah... but actually I found out that is was because it was screwed on too tight.. but I still wanna lube it. this is for the lever and whatnot...

standard cable lube for the cable. spray a little then work the cable a bit and repeat until a little drips out the engine end of the cable. put a little grease on the pivot bolt on reassembly. good to go.

cable lube for the cable (I think its a silicon spray or something), and for the actual lever part I cleaned mine out with wd 40 cause it had dirt in there, then I put some maxima grease I had laying around but any kind will do.

If you mean the pivot point (shoulder bolt) I use a gun grease called Gunslick. It's a graphite grease, and seems to work good for me.

Some use special cable lube oil and some with teflon. I use WD40 and inject it with the clamp on luber available from your local dealer for $5 or $6 bucks..
