Semi-off-topic as the application is for a motorcycle, but I'm sure all you good folk will ahve something useful to say on the matter.
It's for the rear swing-arm, so bearings are subject to periodic quarter-turns rather than full revolutions, if that matters. I've bought some second-hand parts, and noticed that the bearings seemd to have copperslip grease on them, rather than the normal common or garden variety. Does this sound reasonable as it struck me as a bit strange. I suppose it's plausible that the previous chap has put copperslip on to stop the outer part of the race siezing in the housing, and it's somehow got into the bearings themselves, or at least looks as if it has.
Any thoughts ?
I'm probably going to take them out and regrease, but now having doubts about what to put in them.
Thanks
