[RD]

Good morning Rocker,

We met at the 'Hastings Bike Run' when you were promoting our club on the Ducati stand.

You can use any silicone spray lubricant or better still silicone grease.
My advice is save your pennies and use Vaseline instead. I have and it works a treat.

It helps the frame caps to slip in easier and should prevent the 'rubber O-ring seals' from going hard, cracking and perishing. Just be careful not to damage the O-rings when slipping them in the frame and make sure the O-rings stay in the groove on the frame caps. A simple job that will only take a few minutes.

One more thing, be certain to put the frame caps into the correct holes as there are two or three sizes.

I hope this helps.

P.S. This all sounds a bit kinky talking about Vaseline on a bikers web site.
