What grease to use for the speedometer gear unit?

[hypophthalmus]

The manual makes frequent mentions of "grease" including for reinstalling the speedometer gear unit. What sort of grease do you use? Lithium grease?

I favor 'white lithium' grease for those situations

I pack the gear unit by the wheel with bearing grease.

We keep a can of general purpose grease for the speedometer and speedometer cable.
Not any special requirement for the grease.  A waterproof grease like wheel bearing grease may be best,
but I haven't seen wheel bearing grease for sale in several years.

scoot safely,

If you can catch, and squeeze a bunch of snakes... I've just read a post that mentioned snake oil.

That might get complicated tho.

Any water proof grease is fine. I use Marine grade for just about everything. White lith. is just as good.
