Ahh, another completely pointless thread. But, while it's up here, I'll ask a question of the guru of lube...

I have a bunch of Suzuki motorcycles. The ones sold in America are supposed to use Grease "C" for everything that gets lubricated with grease, while the identical motorcycles made for sale outside of the USA use Grease "A" for the same parts. The uses include needle roller bearings used in the swingarm, tapered roller bearings used in the (steering) triple clamps, speedometer drives, etc. Grease "C" is a lithium soap multi-purpose grease while Grease "A" is unidentified. It does have a different appearance though.

My two questions... Any idea what Grease "A" might be? Any idea why the different specifications?

In the photos, Grease "A" is in the larger can, on the right.

Thanks,
Jeff
