After the adjusting screw snapped on my CB550 I had to source a replacement part. Now that I'm getting ready to put it all back together I'm just curious to know:

a. What kind of grease should I use

and

b. Where should I be applying this grease when I reassemble the clutch cover?


Thanks,

RJ

Ok, thanks, I had assumed that it would be lubricated via oil splash but got confused reading posts saying to grease the clutch lever etc., didn't realize that procedure was only for the 500.
