Only problem with this special (yellow) grease is that it has a rather thin
consistency.
It has a tendency to run out on the lower triple clamp and sometimes on to other
parts
of the bike/operator. Note the service interval for the springer is to lube the
neck
brgs every 2500 miles.
We were told we needed to use it in the springer models, and that it doesn't
matter
on the others. HD uses the yellow in production.
I still use blue in everything else as it seems to stay in the neck longer.

Hmm, we can put a man on the moon, even make a harley not vibrate, but we can't
figger out a damn neck bearing seal?
