Bob Miller said:I have had very Good Luck with Amsoil Waterproof Synthetic GreaseThe key qualities are "Waterproof" and "Synthetic". Prior to using the Amsoil, I used Valvoline Synthetic Grease. There where no claims of being waterproof on the Valvoline brand, and having used both, there is a difference between the two
A good testimony of keeping things greased with better lubricants are my jackshaft and driveshaft bearings (Clutch Side Amsoil used) are original on both sides. I use Mobil 1 75W-90 Full Synthetic in the chain case. 04 Warrior with 7700 miles.
I lube before each trip to Quebec
I have been using the Amsoil water proof synthetic grease on my sleds for years... Its an awesome product...

Esso(Beacon 325) - If it's good enough for salt water outboard duty - it's good enough for me! I've had extremely good results with this stuff!

Been using the Amsoil as well. Great stuff!
I also put the fittings in. (Actually yami did when they bought me my 3rd skid. This skid is the 06 mono they just put in last fall) Broke 2 05 skids in 4200 miles but the sled is under warrant until 08 so as long as I keep breaking them, there buying them. This skid has zero miles on it. We'll see if it's any better.
I did buy the fittings for the 05 skid and if I still had that skid the zerks would be in it by now. I grease after every trip to get the water out.

cobalt650 said:What do you guys think is the best possible suspension grease for the bushings and zerks on the skis?? I am about to try to replace and grease the bushings on the mono-skid myself, and I hope to just do this once this winter. With a bit of luck, I won't lose the skid trailside since I haven't tried this before, but I don't really have a savvy dealer nearby. Synthetic, normal, brand suggestions all appreciated, cost doesn't matter given the small quantity
If anyone is in the Madison area and could lend a hand, large bribes will be offered
Maxima makes a waterproof grease that works well for this application. It is blue in color.
