Wish instructions came with it… but I figured it out. Quick and save time. The theory behind it is ok. But actuality is not for one size fits all. From what I have used so far, I did one cable, on bike, you need 3 hands. I will remove the cable completely from the bike for the second cable and try using the bench and vise. This may free up that third hand.
Problem is the straw keeps coming out of the can using two hands.. I use one hand trying to hold the device and a rag over the top of the device, cause it sprays out the top where the cable is coming out. It seals around the cable housing good but not the top of the device where the cable comes out. The other hand is holding the spray can. These work No matter what you do lube squirts out both ends so you lose pressure and it takes awhile for the oil to pass through the cable creating a bigger mess.

In no time my cable was smooth again. Check the price of dri-slide lubricant on Amazon here. I recommend checking and lubricating your throttle cable on your motorcycle, car, or scooter every oil change.
A couple drops of lubricant applied frequently will make sure everything stays friction free. On cars, it is less necessary to do often, but on any old vintage motorcycles or scooters, it can be really important. Important: Most modern dirt bikes and motorcycles have two cables instead of one — a push and a pull cable. This ensures that the throttle will release and not get stuck. Some modern cables are Teflon coated. Personally, I like lubricating everything, and you can probably get away with using a Teflon lubricant like this.
However, I personally recommend the dri-slide lubricant, you can find it here click here to check it out on Amazon. A broken throttle cable may not seem like a big deal, but it can either get stuck wide open or leave you on the side of the road. Tip : Make sure the rubber sleeve goes back in place and adjust the play using the throttle adjuster where the cable enters the housing.
That is about all there is to fixing a sticky throttle cable on a motorcycle, scooter, ATV, or even a car.
Anything that uses a cable is prone to getting sticky, and all cables can use some lubricant except those pesky Teflon ones.
Answer: I would do this every oil change which is about miles on my Scooter. The first time it happened I almost nearly died as I went straight through an intersection holding on for dear life. It took my brain a couple seconds to fire on all cylinders and realize all I had to do was hit the kill switch.
It is best to practice always turning your bike off with the kill switch so that you develop that routine. Once again, according to my favorite grumpy motorcycle mechanic, the best throttle cable lubricant he has ever found is the product dri slide.
