Why, I put wheel bearing grease a the hinge of the side stand, and at the rear brake pedal - it doesn't seem to hurt it.
Is white lithium grease OK then, that's the only other grease I have handy ?[/quote:16jlpq24]

It won't "hurt" anything but it won't do a very good job either. Notice how thick and STIFF it is?

Do they actually recommend grease for those points?
I'd be inclined to use the same 90W that I put on the chain.
Maybe I should read my manual sometime ?? :roll:

Yes, white lithium would be good. I think it is more waterproof than "plain" grease.
