Squeaky lever - more wisdom sought

[Twotter]

Looking for a bit more wisdom from the collective please

I usually wear earplugs so have never noticed before but having fitted one of Bryn's stubby exhaust pipes I rode without them the other day to see just how different the bike sounded. All was fine in that department but I was very surprised that my clutch lever squeaks very loudly when operated.

Is a quick squirt of WD40 appropriate or is there a similar product that the collective would recommend ???

...but Greece is well known for its olive oil, so maybe it wasn't such a bad idea, after all

What a wonderful selection of "collective wisdom"

If it's dried out and squeeking it may be better to remove the lever first and do some cleaning. Then re-assemble with whichever recommendation you prefer from the above. I would use a spot of high melting point grease

Mind you if you use Greece it may obscure your forward vision
