I would recommend a synthetic water resistent lithium complex grease.Something inteded for wet applications.Marine or a Atv or offraod grease.I just like synthetics.I use the Amsoil!!!

No matter what you use it is better than the nothing they put from the factory.

haha aint that the truth. i had my 450 a year and the swing arm bolt broke. so i said hey ill buy one and just repalce it. yea right. i had to cut the bolt out with a sawzall because is was seized in there. no matter what grease you use i would grease it every couple months. i know i do now

use the same grease you pack your bearings with. it is not good to mix grease. pull out the bolt every 6-8hours of riding!
