No wonder I had issues. I left the plunger down and as I sprayed it rose really quick, but nothing was getting into the cable housing. Now that I think about it, I think I had the black rubber piece around the cable, not the housing. I'll give it another try tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
It makes it look so easy on a brand new cable lol. Also this device looks a lot better than the other old school one. That one sucks and leaks everywhere
When using this tool while the clutch cable is still on the bike, do not do what I did and just slip the rubber gasket over the cable head and around the cable. It must scoot down over the black hard rubber/plastic cable sleeve. If not, and when you begin to spray the lube, the lube will escape out the bottom of the v3 device. A proper seal is critical. So if lubing the cable on the bike, highly suggest using a rag around the blue housing just in case of leakage. I also place a towel over the entire handlebar areas and shop towels down by the clutch basket exit. I would also recommend checking your clutch lever for smooth play. If there is any resistance or gitty feel, just go ahead and remove the clutch lever from the bike and clean out the clutch housing and lube it with some white lithium grease. Mine was gritty and after a good wipe down and coating of grease, it is back to smooth operation. Have fun. And remember not to snort the Cable Lube!!
Works well. Only comment is the red tube from the lube can is very difficult to insert in the rubber hole. Hole is a bit too small. Also the plunder "didn't really plunge" after lubing the cable. Other than that worked fine for the clutch cable. However it won't work on a Ténéré T700 for the throttle cable as on both throttle cables there are pins set 90 deg from the cable that are about 2mm too long for the blue cap to fit over the throttle cables. I should have kept my previous cable luber.
Hi Chase, i have a question. I have a Yamaha FZ6 that i need the throttle cables to be lubed, but my bike cables at the throttle grip end, has some sort of plastic ending in contrast to yours in the video that are just the striaght cable. I still can use this V3? i assume the regular Cable Luber doesnt work at all but i dont know about this one. Thanks.
FYI i purchased this just to find out that the Indian motorcycles we have warn against lubing between the sheath and the cable. However if your bike requires it I have seen this tool in use and it gets the job done
i'm sorry , i haven't heard such thing Indian bikes against lubricating, you meant "Indian" brand or the country India- or the bikes manufactured in India?
Do this on the bike with a dirty crudded cable, bet its notcas simple as you show it here. I'm guessing there's a lot of blow back from that 'seal's and messy leaks.
How much is that piece of plastic? The old motion pro luber I almost ordered last month was 25$. The bike master was 9$ for a all metal one I ordered that one.
Talon i have both, the motion pro V3 hands down is better, and not seeing how the metal is helping as the seal on the motion pro is much better even when the cable diameters are slightly different size, it is less messy. Then again, people could avoid the entire cost and submerge their cable in a large plastic sandwich bag with cable lube sealed inside the bag, then place the bag into am ultrasonic jeweler cleaner, where the lube is in the plastic sealed bag and the bag is in the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, after it vibrates for about a few minutes, lube will be everywhere then only necessary to wipe the outside of the cable down. But then you have to pay way more for the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, but then again, i have unfroze cables using that method, sometimes the price of a new cable is the best purchase, but still will need to lube it.
I looked this up needing it for my clutch cable. How will I know when my throttle cable needs lubing too? More skeptical of doing this as i have a carburated klr650.
I always let my cables hang for a day or so after doing this to let all of the excess run out. Otherwise, you'll have it leaking out onto your bike/motor.
East Coast Wolf i have one, and yes far better than the other i had, the older one was Oxford brand cable lube tool but same as the old motion pro one. The v3 motion pro is seriously much better, better seal, and for periodic maintenance so easy to unhook the cable from the handlebars and get some lube on the cable and use a paper towel to catch the lube that drips out. So easy i now regularly lube my cables, real key is the lube made by motion pro, it is perfect for preventing binding, freezing, gunk etc. I would recommend the V3 Motion Pro, unless it is a gift for someone you don’t like, then the older one will work..
@@kalbic i just checked all the maintenance / service manuals for every vehicle i own, none of them say to "normally" lubricate cables AT ALL let alone "every two years" that you claim to do yours ? you're not showing real life scenario's here. I'm not saying it doesn't work I'm just saying show something realistic ! Please
Malcolm Till good point, but for a froze cable, ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is the tool to un-freeze it. Then the cable lube is a less messy way to get it properly lubed. The whole point of the tool is to make it easy enough to lube while on the bike by removing the control handle side and cleaning up the little lube that drips at the end of the cable.
@@marknasia5293 I like your ultrasonic idea. I recently bought a fixer that may need that treatment. First I will try the water bottle method. Drill a hole in the cap of a water bottle that the cable slips into TIGHTLY. Then put spray lube into the water bottle , place the cap, and squeeze the bottle to pressurize the cable. I recently did this and actually forced some sand out of a frozen cable that now works like new.
Kevin 747 actually with California putting the prop 95 warning (carcinogens) warning on everything, the gloves are a safe bet, nothing to do with keeping them soft.
just push the red tube down through the hole at the end? really? I guess you guys forgot to put a hole in the one I bought-solid !!!! no hole-made in china-sweet way unhappy
Mike Smith I had both versions of the old style luber. 1 had only 1 tightening bolt and the other has 2 tightening bolts. The only one to work was the 1 with 1 bolt in it. The 2 bolt sucked, and upon further inspection it was from how the rubber piece was cut at the point where the cable extends past the tool
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Cut a small triangle out of a piece of plastic. At the point cut across making a small hole. Ship it over the cable folding it up making a funnel. Secure the top ( now the bottom) with a rubber band. Spray your lube into it working the cable up and down
This this thing is a total piece of garbage. Should have bought the v2. All it did was get cable lube all over my bike, didn’t work, and got my wiring wet.
This is a better how-to video than motion pro made for their own tool. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I can't afford nothing on your website but I watch it so I have something to do
tink0801 if you own both that GSXR and the Mustang, you can definitely afford items from the website
Then you shouldn't be riding a dirt bike or own any rec vehicles they are all money pits
@@vampov 🤣 it was a joke there shit is expensive a shit
@Joey Alexis agreed
Thank you now I get the idea how it works
Excellent video. Clear, concise language and good clear video. Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out!
That looks way better than the old design. A lot less mess.
Dan P i gave my older MP cable lube to a friend as a white elephant gift..

I would’ve appreciated a comparison to a traditional cable lube tool. What makes this one better?
Little to no cable lube leaks out

If this works even a little better than the old type - which usually just dumped lube all over the place - it's worth it. Who's got one?

Why are all these cable oilers demonstrated on new cables ? I would be for more impressed if you used a truly gunged up seized up cable !
If you are doing normal maintenance your cable should never get that bad. I used this tonight and it worked great on my 2 year old cable.

You guys should do a review of knight design pegs and accessories
is there a proper way to clean gummed up cables with this tool?
How you see the tool being used in this video is how you clean and lubricate the cable.
@@rmatvmc okay thanks. I was a bit confused as the spray says to be solely a lubricant. Good to know though.
Will it work on a lawnmower cable?
I don't see why not!
So on a fuel injected bike I don’t have to remove the cable from the bike ?
Correct. You do not need to remove the cable from the bike.
can I use maxima chain wax chain lube? I have a can of it already so wanted to use it up on it.
NO!!!!!!! That is too thick and will not work.
@@rmatvmc ok. thank you
Keep those hands nice and soft.
Kevin 747 actually with California putting the prop 95 warning (carcinogens) warning on everything, the gloves are a safe bet, nothing to do with keeping them soft.
@@marknasia5293 Yeah,but we all know Californians are snowflakes.
You like soft hands, huh?
I've used every penetrating fluid available and none cause gunking they all worked for me. I own 15 bikes.
How about in dusty California l don't think it wise to oil your cables here have done it in the past and dirt stuck in them..
So don't use oil or any grease or degreaser. Just cable lube ; )

Sorry to hear about that. Please contact our warranty department and we can help resolve this for you. warranty@rockymountainatv.com
I had an issue with mine,as well. Lube goes everywhere and also squirts out past the rubber grommets. Tightening down the plug does no better 😡🤬

Hi
Why am I watching I’m full hydraulic system
There is nothing bad about getting lube in the carbuerator. Will only do good.
You obviously have never put contaminates into a carburetor.
You don't need this to lubricate cables....
*Daffy Dill* How do you lubricate your cables? We always like to hear new methods. This Motion Pro Tool definitely keeps it clean. thanks
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Cut a small triangle out of a piece of plastic. At the point cut across making a small hole. Ship it over the cable folding it up making a funnel. Secure the top ( now the bottom) with a rubber band. Spray your lube into it working the cable up and down
*Daffy Dill* and there ya go! Nice simple DIY cable luber. Thanks for sharing with us!
@@rmatvmc You can also use a heat shrink wire tubing and shrink it on the end of the cable and fill it up.
I got one and it did not work well. Don't waste your money.
This looks far more annoying than just clamping down the older one and having to wipe excess for 2 mode seconds
Softy big guy !! needs rubber gloves to do that hhahah
Very wordy n long for a cable luber
This this thing is a total piece of garbage. Should have bought the v2. All it did was get cable lube all over my bike, didn’t work, and got my wiring wet.
Terrible product!!! You end up with more lube on your hands, than in the cable sheathing!!!
