Back when I had a dirt bike I used a simple method to lube the clutch cable. Just pull the clutch in and drip a little automatic transmission fluid on the exposed cable. Work the clutch lever a bit and repeat. It can get a bit messy but after sitting over night the cable seems to get lubed from one end to the other. I used a dedicated oil can with a smaller tip after my first episode with a larger tip.
Haven't looked at the 250 cable yet but I do know if it has a teflon inner sheath rather then metal DO NOT LUBRICATE with oil. The teflon should be left alone, it is pretty tough and basically lube free. Teflon does not like oil but if it has already been oiled or lubed in some manner you might as well continue to avoid eventual binding. Hope this helps.
