sure this is on here somewhere, because I know I have seen it, but what should be used to lube the clutch cable? Thanks

I picked up a nice bottle of Dri-Slide multi-purpose lubricant. came with a nice long needle so I can even get it in some tight spaces (like inside the end of the clutch cable).

Here's the description from their site:
Dri-SlideŽ Molybdenum Disulfide based dry lubricants are formulated for use in harsh environments, at extreme temperatures, and under extreme pressures. Dri-SlideŽ lubricants go on wet, penetrating even the smallest spaces, and then stay on dry, withstanding pressures exceeding 100,000 psi. Dri-SlideŽ lubricants provide long-lasting dry film protection, do not attract dirt, dust, or other airborne contaminants, retard rust and corrosion, repel moisture, and provide excellent acid fume protection.

Is it best to go with a dry lubricant vs an oil? will gunk build up on with oils?

You can use it with or without - I just found it nice to have the needle around if I want it. I got mine from my Buell dealer in NH.

Another very good dry-film lubricant/corrosion inhibitor is Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide. It was designed for use on firearms and knives. I recommend it to people who buy knives that I make, some of which aren't stainless. This stuff lasts, and lubricates very well. I also use it on car doors, house doors, etc.
