What do you all experts say is the BEST way to maintain the throttle connections?
and would you bother with cleaning each end, or just spray something on it?

You need to disassemble the joints. Clean them and use the lithium grease on them. They need to be done, and I have heard it is good to do that while you are doing the valve adjustment.
