A while back Ace mentioned a Schaeffer's grease that was real good and if I remember right it was waterproof. I remember looking for it and it was tough to find. I'm gonna look again when I go to grease stuff this spring. Maybe he'll pop in with the number for it.

I did a search for the grease on Amazon.ca they have the brand but not the product, puts I would have to buy a case of it..
I am in Nova Scotia, on the east so I may have limited options

 

Yes I bought it by the case . Lines normally sell fir 7 to 8$ each . But in a case you get 30 tunes fir 150$. So it cuts the price to 5$ a tube . I go through a lot of grease so it was a no brainer for me . But for those that don’t use a lot it doesn’t go bad. So by a case and you done buying grease fir most of your life. Or pawn it off on your buddies to get some of your money back.

 

Just checked on Amazon, single tubes available for $6.67(Prime)

You might find a supplier on this website that can help you out. There are several in NS.

 

I mix WS2 with a high end Amsoil grease and repack the cartridge. I think Troy buys the premixed tubes from them. Just another thought.

 

I just read the post again if you got 2400 miles out of the aarm bushings grease wasn’t a issue . I inly got 200 miles tops out of aarm bushing . Till I went to aftermarket bushings . If I could have got 2400 I would still be running factory bushings .

 

Very good point !

 

there is a lot of products on Amazon.com that don't ship to Canada. I check Amazon.ca ( I have Prime) there is some of that product available but price is out to lunch..

 

I would just keep using the grease your using. If your getting that kinda mileage .

I guess I am out of the loop then. I didn't know the average life out of the bushings etc. I guess I am over thinking this. I will continue as if I was normal.. lol Not a lot of riding this year, surgery in april , then a 7week trip across Canada to see the sights. The Wife, for some reason enjoys getting out so I will get my maintenance done and then have some fun. I have been enjoying doing the work on the machine, learning some stuff.

thanks

 

I use green grease and that is actually what it is called. It is full synthetic, water proof and seems to work well. I would put better bushings in if I were you. I put garage product bushings in and have 6500 miles on them and they are still as tight as the day I put them in and on the plus side I do not have to grease them.
