Speedometer grease
Hi guys. I have my front wheel off putting fork seals In my GL1500. I cleaned all the old grease out of the speedometer housing on the front wheel and was wandering what I should use to lubricate the gears with. I have some grease left from when I lubed the final drive splines. Would that be ok to use? Thank for any suggestions!
Anything goes when everything's gone!

Re: Speedometer grease
The same grease you would use on the front axle will work fine.
You ain't lost, you're just somewhere you ain't been before.

Re: Speedometer grease
I don't think using Moly paste on that would be a good idea, think I'd use regular axle grease instead....

Correct. Any high-quality automotive grease will work just fine.DenverWinger wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:14 amI don't think using Moly paste on that would be a good idea, think I'd use regular axle grease instead....

Re: Speedometer grease
I'm probably speaking from a position of ignorance, but I use axle grease from my big tub of axle grease.
