Book Excerpt: 1988-2000 Honda TRX300 Fourtrax 300, TRX300FW ATV Repair Manual LUBRICATION - GENERAL
(Refer to Illustration 12.3)

1. Since the controls, cables and various other components of an ATV are exposed to the elements, they should be lubricated periodically to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
2. The throttle and brake levers, brake pedal and kickstarter pivot should be lubricated frequently. In order for the lubricant to be applied where it will do the most good, the component should be disassembled. However, if chain and cable lubricant is being used, it can be applied to the pivot joint gaps and will usually work its way into the areas where friction occurs. If motor oil or light grease is being used, apply it sparingly as it may attract dirt (which could cause the controls to bind or wear at an accelerated rate). Note: One of the best lubricants for the control lever pivots is a dry-film lubricant (available from many sources by different names.)
3. The throttle, choke, brake and reverse cables should be removed and treated with a commercially available cable lubricant which is specially formulated for use on vehicle control cables. Small adapters for pressure lubricating the cables with spray can lubricants are available and ensure that the cable is lubricated along its entire length (see illustration). When attaching the cable to the lever, be sure to lubricate the barrel-shaped fitting at the end with multi-purpose grease.
4. To lubricate the cables, disconnect them at the lower end, then lubricate the cable with a pressure lube adapter (see illustration 12.3).
