Throttle grip - lubricate?
I've got my throttle grip off and I've cleaned it all out - does it go back together dry, or should it be lubricated, and if so, what lube?

Ok, I've now used silicon spray on the tube, but a bit of grease on the cable ends and along the last couple of inches. Seems pretty good.
