Axle grease....

(1/2) > >>

GDubb:
what type of grease do I use on the rear axle and related parts?  I had to mount a paddle for this weekend and found alot of grit in the existing grease so I really dont want to put it back together that way.  And since we're on the topic of grease... which kind is it to seal the air filter lip? Thanks for being here guys...  I'd be lost without this website!

Rowdy-Yates:
My clymer just says to use a good quality bearing grease on the wheel bearings and the airfilter lip. I use a marine grade just because I have a boat too and have a lot of it. I know that there are different greases out there and everyone will have there own opinion.

GDubb:
Sounds good to me... I'll trust clymer. Thanks man, I appreciate the info!  I've been busting my arse on this bike all week. Since it will be my first ride on it since purchase, Ive been trying to make sure that I go through everything I can to make sure the bike is good and solid and this is all I have left.  Ive been through everything except the motor itself, so Sunday will be the day to see how good a deal I really got.  Hopefully she holds together!

mikesmith:
I use a moly grease on all bearings,water proof grease on the air filter lip and as for the axle (linkage bolts ect.) I highly recomend never sieze!

GDubb:
I take it that a "marine grade" would be the water proof grease then, right?
