[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 695144, member: 22283"] tex, you make a very good point. If you use a "marine" grease, it will probably have the proper "drop point" for our application. Drop Point, is when the grease goes to a fluid state due to temp. Cheapo grease off the shelf probably will drop out much sooner than a good waterproof synthetic will. Yogurt, you aren't really correct in your assesment of grease. There are indeed greases that are specifically developed to resist water and the washout it can create. Other greases will mix with water quite easily. Only the oil in the soap will not mix with water, the soap base can and will. In a perfect world, a bearing housing should have no moe than 60% of it's total area filled with grease, however we are in a non-perfect world with dirt bikes. Sometimes it is far better to have the cavity always full to keep water from entering. And yes, if you use a zerk fitting, the excess grease will come out the seal, and it has to unseat the seal to do this. It is definatley a way to keep water out of your bearing housing though. I would be mucho interested in knowing about a grease that resists picking up debris better than others... :think: [/QUOTE]
