The guys that wrote the Kawasaki factory service manual do.
They call for a molybdenum disulfide grease. Much better suited for the high temperatures in that area of the engine.

where do i get it and is there a brand name i should search for
dave916:
i think the moly grease your looking is used in cv joints of cars
this i the copper grease spray i used [did not have a manual at the time] its got added graphite for even better lubrication ,
we used to use copper grease in excavator hydraulic breakers, now they use moly grease as a cheaper option
anybody see any problems in using this,

thank u
dave916:
you probably better using the recommended grease
if u do a google search on the moly grease it will give u loads of info on the grease and where to get,
i live i the UK so u probadly have different brands to there in the US
i though the copper grease spray was a good option for me cos my 88 valves were pretty worn and thought they could be expose to a little more heat ,
