My gas scooter has two lines running to the front wheel, one is disc brake, one into axle area, whats that one

Question

I just got a new scooter, and I put the front wheel on, I noticed this line running into the axle. Do I have to lubricate this or does it lubricate automatically?

Answer 1

sounds like a speedo cable don't lube. follow the cable from the axle up see if it goes to the speedo head.

Answer 2

Could also be Odometer cable... or both the speedo and odo... they are separate cables though.  Generally on a scooter the odo is very very accurate and the speedo is off by 10% or so

Answer 3

I think it is probably the speedometer drive cable. Does the line have wires in it or a little cog? If it is an electronic sensor, then no, do not grease it. If it is a mechanical speedo drive, then a dob of longlife grease on it will keep it quiet, and minimise wear.
