Hey guys.
Just wondering what all you WR and YZ owners out there use when the manual calls for Lithium based soap grease. They recommend it for mainly sliding parts from what i have seen, everything from under the throttle to the bushings in the case for the swingarm bolt. I have a lithium based dry lube that is a solid stick you wipe on, i have used it for light duty sliding parts with great results. I dont think it is going to cut it for swingarm bushings, i have always used a marine grease for its water repelling properties and see no reason to change now. The stuff that is in there now is white and feels very thin like lithium grease but i wouldnt think it would hold up well over time.
Thanks
Luke
