Title: FZS 1000 Front engine mount bracket bushes.
Post by: Decoke Dave on 22 March 2021, 11:22:48 am

       Should the four steel spacers be lubricated in their bushings within the bracket assembly, if so what type of grease is officially recommended for this job, if any.

Not sure what spacers you are referring to. The service manual doesn't mention the need for any lubrication but I usually put a bit of anti-seize on the engine mounting bolts.

Actually, I think I know what you mean. I seem to remember there are 4 seals that I think go either side of upper/front mounting point/bushings in the bracket. Interesting that they are not shown separately in the service manual or listed on Fowlers. I think I did put a bit of bearing grease on the bushes and seal lips.
