Any specific grease to use on front axle?
#2
BMW calls for Optimoly TA grease on the axle only. The service manual doesn't call for dropping the bike until after the wheel is on and all bolts are torqued. I drop mine after loosely tightening the axle bolt. Then I bounce the bike a few times on the front suspension. Only then to I torque the axle bole and then the pinch bolts. I have no idea if this process makes a difference or not, but it is the way I was taught way back when so I still do it.
