Steering column lube

A lot of guys just squirt a little 75-90 or 140 down the steering shaft and that helps.

What did you end up doing to it? I just put some 75-140 on it every once in a while.

I took both upper and lower bushings out. Cleaned everything, applied that SuperLube that everyone raves about and recommends even using in the one way bearing in the clutch. If the upper bushing thats a bear to get to cause everything has to be removed..

Well noticed last week it's creaking/squeaking again. Which now kinda makes me wonder how good is this SuperLube is and if its even worthy of having it on the one way bearing.

How do you get the oil down there? Just remove the pod and pour some down the column?
Yep correct.

Did you grease the lower bushings when you had it apart?

Edit: I see in an earlier post you greased lower one also. Its a pain, but you can regrease the lower without completely dismantling everything.

Yep I am also. After I have added gear lube they have never squeaked for at least a month. You might try redoing the lower one so you dont have to pull air box again.

That isn't normal. Sure there isnt a wire or something else catching right as it goes past center? I have a customer's 20 570 and the brake line spins in the splitter block as handlebars move. It causes a little bit of catch that you only notice with the unit off.
