    I can't answer even the simplest of your questions let alone the problems you've solved to get it to this stage, power to the Steampunk. 😂😂😂

    The type of grease changes the EPS feeling dramatically.
    At the factory, it was using the clear, really-really soft (like gel) grease.

    Many professional bike maintenance people are using Royal Purple Ultra Performance Grease and I used it for a long time for other applications and loved it.
    There are two NLGI grade. Considering the EPS rack structure, I would say no.2 would suit for the rack.

    T3TEC uses it but from time to time, they use their own know-how to blend something in so may be different from the original product.

    It's purple colour and just wants to stay there forever so don't let it on the cloth, carpet, etc.
    Even on the floor, wiping it off is not enough.

    Not sure how easy it is to get hold of it in UK though as local chemical regulations and transportation requirement changed quite a lot over the last several years.

    No longer possible to hand carry the boot lid/eng hatch glass damper on flight even with SDS.
    Honda had to include MSDS, SDS, etc documents inside the parts bag for the brake caliper service kit, drive shaft grease, etc.

    I have seen the gel type mentioned, seems to be an '''oil grease', an oil but in a gel form.....I can't really go by my rack as the grease in mine was black and had a crust!!!!! VW apparently do a rack grease... Its not like we can ask honda!!!
    Fortunately I don't have a dead line.....

    Honda has a steering rack grease. Part no. 08C35B0534L. Not sure if it's the one you need. At least it says P.S and the color is some kind of transparent white.

    a quick spin still showed one of the brushes wasn't happy and still rattled, so a piece of fine sandpaper on the commutator and with the brush springs on, the brushes were trued to the comm again....

    royal purple grade 2 available here..https://www.rivalmotorsport.co.uk/ro...ormance-grease

    i was waiting on a reply re. grease and passenger side bush from a local steering rack specialist, alas on hearing it's electric, they seem to have had some sort of breakdown and doesn't want to help..... the bits i'm asking about are common on all racks!!!! and ignored the grease query!

    (have the forum rules changed??? this post has 4 pics, a vid and a smiley, AND still posted....... i thought there was a 4 pic/item limit????) anyway, as you were!!

    i'm just putting my findings out there! if it works when i'm finished, that's a bonus! lol

    i just like to add to the pool of knowledge. i could have just sent it to the US, or Japan, for rebuild, but where's the fun in that????


    back on track, royal purple grease has been ordered...... and the motor powered up to check it works and bed in the bearings a bit.

    they are shiny new and tight, so i powered it up and gave it a half hour run in, not that its ever going to be running in one direction for anything like that time, it means the bearing grease can be worked a bit... gave it a run in the reverse direction too, the loads reducing sufficiently for the current required, at a fixed voltage, to drop by a third!

    Hi,

    i was joking.... obviously that i cannot impose on someone to work
    (but i can beg LOOOOL)

    but although i could do this work myself, but sourcing all the parts because i
    don't have tools to do parts myself, i prefer to have someone do this for me...
    i'm affraid i could do something wrong and compromise the whole rack.

    But yes Jonathan, it's here for future reference, and i follow every thread of
    yours very religiously

    Thanks,
    Nuno
