I have a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 31,000 miles, and wanting to drop the steering stem to clean plus grease the top & bottom steering stem needle bearings, no record of this ever being down since factory new. Thinking of using a spray can of Gunk auto engine degreaser on the stem bearings for cleaning, or can I use brake cleaner.
I bought a 8 oz tube of lithium based NLGI 2 marine grease called Mercury 2-4-C at a shop that sells boat motors. The tube says this grease is good for boat linkages and for boat trailer wheel bearings and contains PTFE for added friction reduction and reduced wear, won't break down in the presence of water, and prevents rust and corrosion. If this grease is good for my steering bearings then I might also use it on most everything else on my bike.
is this grease ok to use on my motorcycle steering needle bearings?
