Yeah shutup GULG ner ner ner.
OP- LM grease is fine for your bearings.
The Brakes on the Ten are good, are rather the bike is so slow it never really overpowers them.

Good point. This is why you can probably get away with slightly longer service life on the fluid. The main problem caused by the water absorbed in the fluid is it lowers boiling point, but the brakes on the Ten never get anywhere near hot enough to cause this kind of trouble in 99.9% of situations. The engine braking on a single helps here too.
Gulg, I'm used to moderating myself, years of practice to keep her indoors happy!

That link to the rear suspension greasing is a superb vid. I just watched it and have to say has inspired me to strip mine and grease it this week!

I just replaced my rear brake fluid yesterday as it happened and that's about as easy a job as it gets. I will be doing the front soon as well but that looks as new anyway so no real rush.

Need to grease my linkages up too, although with hindsight when the garage pointed out they needed doing after the 18k service I should have asked some pointed questions about why they needed doing "because, you know, you did them when I brought it in for the 12k service didn't you?"

Useless muppets.

Great video. Inspired me too. Let's grease it.
