What kind of grease?

bmiller · Post by **bmiller** » 01:53 pm Sep 15 2010

Does anyone know what kind of grease should be used for steering stem bearings and swingarm bearings?

The stock grease used in the stem was super thick and tacky while the swingarm seemed more like white lith grease.

Any ideas?

I use the Bel-Ray grease too. I buy it at the local Kawasaki shop.

I use Bel Ray too.
Get it (like about everything else motorcycle related) at the local parts/service shop up the road from my house.

I picked up the synthetic wheel bearing grease after I ran out of the Bel-Ray stuff. I have found that it holds up better than the Bel-Ray stuff. I am not saying it is better... it is just thicker and stays put... it doesn't run when if gets warm.

One plus is that it doesn't draw water either.... which is very cool on bearings!

I run the dark blue, marine grease from Mystic. Works great, doesn't run and and is cheap. That Bel-Ray stuff is for 220's.

Excellent suggestions.

Thanks for all of the responses.

So your saying, using it will make my OEM piston frag?

bmiller · Post by **bmiller** » 12:44 pm Sep 17 2010

So tacky grease in the stem and thin moly in the swingarm? Or tacky all around?

bmiller · Post by **bmiller** » 12:47 pm Sep 17 2010

I'm considering this:

Skythrasher, can you confirm this is the stuff you're talking about?

Grease has an intellect. Whoa, that's pretty deep.

Oh well, retarded grease is better than no grease I guess.
