Even though my manual says nothing about grease I will concede that grease is often used to assemble components engine/gearbox but it is only for initial run protection and in some cases just to keep the bits in place (use a bit of grease to hold the collets in place whilst putting valve springs back on).

We used to use grease to hold gaskets in place and all sorts.

you did Greasemonkey and I repeated it for good measure! :D

don't loose sleep Nate my bike had done 5k before i did the mod and no sign of heat build up or play. there again....................

Remember if you spend to long on this site you will be waiting for your bike to disolve and never ride it.

Must go and check it hasn't fallen off its stand!

If you've not had the stand pivot recall, the stand will fall off the bike.
