What are you guys using to lube the thrust bearing? I'm talking about the one that you mount on the motor shaft between the housing and coupler.

I found it at a bike show. It was engineered for lubricating metal in salt water applications. Like it better than the grease I was using. Tried it in boats running over 30,000 rpm with no problems. Use a light coating on the flex shaft and bearings. I left the flex in for a week after a run before I pulled it, no rust was found on the flex cable. Wiped the moisture/purple residue off and it was shiny.
We have a big bike race here annualy. They usually give away free samples. I loaded up on it.
