GreenGrease?

[tmcafe]

Has anybody used this for their drive shaft U-joints?

It's synthetic, lithium based and contains no moly (which fits at least part of the requirements for my bike's drive shaft). I pumped it to replace whatever was left from the factory grease. From the website it's supposed to be the thing, but you know how advertising works.

Thanks.

Probably fine if it meets guzzi's spec. The deal with the exposed u joint on those bikes (as you know) is the mess they make when they throw the grease off, especially after maintenance. Another grease you might want to check out is a schaeffer #238 product that has some tackifier.

True dat.

I must have overdone it with the grease as I wanted to drive out the old stuff. It's been a few days and there's still a bit of extra grease flinging around the joint. As far as the Guzzi specs, the guy from Green Grease said something to the effect of "exceeds". For instance, the drop point on the Green Grease is much higher than the 350F or so on the Guzzi recommended grease. Does this may mean that it's more stable?
I've seen something about Schaeffer, maybe on Bob's The Oil Guy, and it seemed a very good product. Guess I could give it a try on a future greasing job. Thanks!

I don't mean to ask the "Gee I must be an Amsoil Dealer" question, but doesn't Amsoil advertise their grease as being the stuff to use for this app? I'm truly asking for the knowledge.

I don't know much about Amsoil grease, but given the quality of their oils, I would assume it'the grease is good stuff too. Worth a try.
