What kind of grease?

[Darrell41653]

I have a new 2004 Honda Foreman 450 ES. It only has eight hours and fifty miles on it, but I want to keep it in tip top shape.
So, is there any one particular type of grease I should use ? Can I use this kind of grease for all of the pivot points? A-arms, bushings, bearings, etc ? I went out today and bought a grease gun and a tube of Valvoline synthetic grease. The guy at the store said this was the best they had.
Thanks in advance...

Darrell,

Here is a link to the synthetic grease from Amsoil:

This is pretty good stuff for your atv. Excellant lubrication and water resistant all in one.

If you are looking for premium synthetic oil and gear lube here what you will need if you are interested in Amsoil synthetics

AMF-01 Case 10W-40 Synthetic motorcyle oil
SMF-110 Oil Filter (Double check this, I assume your engine is the same as mine 01 450 foreman)
FGR-QT Quart 75W90 Gear oil (for the front and rear differential)
SVG-Qt quart 75W90 Premium Gear oil
If you want to step up to a racing quality gear oil, you can use the SVG-QT in place of the FGR-QT.
Here is a link to my Amsoil website if you are interested:

Hope this helps, and enjoy your new bike.
