Might sound funny but the FZR has developed a small squeak from the rear.
I will take the swing arm off and lube the bearings etc, just wondering what lube to use, and where I can find it?

I do have a lube dispenser thing if they come in cartridges.

I use the Bel-ray stuff, done me good so far. made for bearings, axles etc, waterproof.

Any bike shop that stocks Bel-ray products will have it, ring around. Comes in a tub, easier to use than a cartridge.

Yep... it's good stuff. Maxima do a similar product, too

If the bearings are squeaking mate, they will be rooted. Almost any grease will be fine on swingarm bearings.

Check what the squeak's actually from. Often it's the shock or spring squeaking, especially if it gets road spooge or dirt in it.
