What grease should I be using in my UMI steering? At the moment anything I use is binding up the steering and making it harder to turn.
Pack the thrust washers and bearing there. Not the main bearing - just coat that. As Norm has said sound like you've got something else going on. Have you replaced your O-rings? Is there a tolerance issue now due to wear on any of the plates. I know the main o-ring can wear a ring in the bottom of the turn plate and ends up binding up on it.
The last thing I tried was moly grease, and that worked really well for a few rides, but now its glugged up again. maybe the orings aren't sealing properly.
Don't use a moly grease, use a standard marine grease, I have some if you want to bring it round and do it here, I have touched my UMI for years
standard marine grease dont pack it in to tight take it apart cleanit make sure nothing is binding nd put it back together We use wheel bearing grease Norm should be the lube expert
