Type of Grease?

Post by ensoniqdude » Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:02 am

Might seem like a noob question but what type of grease should be used with the various greasing nipples on the 305 Dream?

Checked the restoration guide, etc. and it just says, "grease".

Use a high quality Molybdenum di Sulphide grease for everything except wheel bearings, they need something more water resistant.

I would suggest if possible to clean any old grease out first, re assemble with Moly, and grease up after every ride while everything is warm.

Then go for another ride...
