What about CV grease the gray stuff isnt that purpose made for constant moving parts

Although CV grease does contain lithium it also contains molybdenum disulfide & graphite the grey colour which is ok for metal to metal apps like your swinging arm but for areas which have plastic multipurpose lithium soap based grease is recommended.

Ok great. I also have a tub of Silkolene RG2 grease so I am guessing that would be geed for both speedo and swingarm

Cleaned out the sensor and greased it up, sounds good again! No more noise.
Re: Noisy speed sensor?? - Triggergee - 03-04-18
As we seem to be discussing it here and I'm about to do the fork mod which means wheel and speed sensor removal, which if any of these three greases should I use on the speed sensor? Silkolene RG2, Duckhams LB10 or Duckhams LBM 10? Please no one say none of the above
Re: Noisy speed sensor?? - celticdog - 03-04-18
I'd use whichever one is newest, but what do I know.

Yamaha recommend lithium based grease for wheel bearings & speed sensor so guessing Duckhams LB10 should be fine not sure about Silkolene RG2 as it's synthetic but should be ok, not Duckhams LBM 10 if M is Moly if it's grey in colour no.

Haha great no idea which one is newest, all tubs left by my girlfriends ex which probably means I should have either thrown them out already or at the very least pissed on them all to assert my manliness and claim them as my own... thought about trying that on the missus just to be safe but I value my life somewhat so eventually decided against it.
