This seems to be a highly debated topic. Haynes manual recommends it. Some folks say go Silicone based instead, some folks say dont put any grease [bacon] anywhere near the pads as it will melt on to the pads and you'll lose you're brakes. Whats the take here among my Monster Bretheren? BTW this is on a Monster 620.
I don't use any.
ducati knows a little bit about building motorcycles and they don't use any grease.
gease and brakes don't seem like a good combination
Use it if you want, just a little where the piston hits the pad and maybe a teeny dab in each corner where the pad touches the caliper. It won't hurt. Like DP, I don't
I use some sort of gunk when I do brakes, not because I think it needs it, but because if it does, i don't want to do it again. :-\
