    i used to live in the uk for a while- every practice track had a pressure washer and u could wash the bike straight after u ride. therefore u don't had to get to close to the bearings to get the bike cleaned up properly.
    Now- i m a busy house owner in sunny germany and i might have a chance to get my bike washed up ever other week after practice i have the problem the dirt gets hard... lot more pressure been needed to get the bike shine as new.
    That might be another problem...

    Hi there. Are the OEM bearings from a Husky dealer of a good quality or does it pay to source brgs. from SKF etc? Or are they the same item? If brgs ok say steering, swingarm can i remove brgs. without damaging them and re pack them? Belray grease difficult to source, any good alternatives you recommend from the likes of Castrol, Shell etc?
    Is there a cross reference for husky brgs. or OEM all I need? Thanks in advance. DD

    bel ray grease is all over ebay, or any of the big internet places...mc superstore etc. im sure there other good greases tho. maybe something that says "marine" is good for water resistance. the oem bearings are usually great quality but expensive, or unavailable, so it can pay to find the number and look up the equivalent from nachi, toyo, skf, timken, etc

    make you life easier, pre-soak it, if 2 layers wash off the 1st then wait for the water to soak in and the 2nd one comes off without so much work and pressure especially around the seal areas

    is this US only?????
    it was written as the 1st example in the Husqvarna factory bulletins, not the grease but Bel-Ray itself
    seeing that i assumed it was worldwide
    it is the staple item for work at my place, use it to protect aluminum threaded areas from corrosion freezing and all bearings and surfaces i don't want corroding
