Here is some related discussion-

I swear I remember somebody mentioning no lube in this area. At least on the rollers anyhow. Lube in the starter clutch area will only help the rollers slip where they need to grab.
Maybe someone else can confirm this? Maybe the manual is referring to the starter gears that need lube?

At any rate- a synthetic brake caliper grease or dielectric grease would work as a substitute as both are silicone based. 3M offers a silicone paste as well.

assemble dry. no grease! make REALLY sure the FH screws are secure, I.E. staked in place. very common failure to have them back out and cause a mess.

Thanks guys for the advice. I see on one of the past posts that Molykote or graphite grease was used by someone. However, I can understand the logic for no grease at all. Will be stripping it next weekend so will see what I find inside.
