Loader M59 loader control sticking when cold

[Smokeydog]

Anyone figured out how to easily lube the cables from the handle to the FEL control valve? Sticky below 30 degrees. Technique and best product? Motorcycle cable lube and injection tool? 10 years old and 1400+hours.

I vaguely remember rScotty? mentioning something...does using brake cleaner to purge first ring a bell?

I've been using Yamalube on my bikes

Yamalube LubezAll | 10% ($1.20) Off! - RevZilla

No one wants a sticky clutch cable nor throttle cable, so keep them all well lubricated with the LubezAll.

I don't ride in winter and avoid rain so I can't say for sure how good the yamalube is below freezing.

These guys say avoid WD40

Might be worth putting new cables on it anyways. I did them on an LA series loader on an M series, wasn't too hard. I had broke a cable but did both. I kept the old "good" one as a spare and it was noticeably stiff compared to the new one.

Also, if you get the old cables off you can easily clean the ends up and soak them in PBlaster.
