Hi, I picked up some aluminium based grease whilst ordering some other bits from Busters, thinking as it was dirt cheap it would be handy.

I was planning to use it as a general purpose lube for things like the throttle grip, centre stand etc. However now its turned up it looks like it might have more specialised uses than that, will it do any harm? Should I just have stuck to using engine oil for everything like Yamaha manual suggests?

Sorry if its a daft question, there are just so many different lubes, and so many things to be lubed, it gets a bit confusing for a newbie like me.

erm, ive heard of copper-based grease, but never alluminium based...

aslong as you dont use it for bearings and places where you NEED to use conventional grease, i can't see the harm in using it for things like levers and stands
