On the Blast should the cables be lubed?

Yes. They also make special cable lube tools that make it a little more effective than just holding the cable up and letting the lube run down.

(of coure, if you just take the clutch cable off the lever and leave it laying on the ground, it will lube itself!!!)

Could you send a link to a recommended tool? How often? About every season or two?

Manual says every 5000 miles. If your bike sits outside and/or in the rain, at least once a year. Or every time you begin to have problems. If I'd venture a guess, many street riders rarely do it at all.

I've never lubed my cables.

Yikes...
