You can use a high moly content grease, it will do the same job. I use super moly, esso usually.

One recommendation of a mechanic friend I used marine grease.
On what bike?
Every UJM I've messed with uses sealed bearings -- you don't add any lube. You leave them alone, install them properly and keep the pressure washer away from 'em, and that's about it.

My 78 had a re-packable drive bearing in it... I got a kit as one of the other bearings was sticky so it was replaced along with that one & is now non re-packable.
I would use a decent bearing grease, go to Autozone or somewhere, it will be clearly labeled..!

if they're sealed - no greasing
if they're open type bearing - maybe worth replacing with a sealed type - less worries and they are inexpensive

Even sealed bearings need greasing. Often they don't have a lot of grease in them when they are new and after 25yrs, what is in there is dried out. So even with new bearings, I pop off the seal and pack them with grease, then put the seal back on and install them. Then for sure you never have to worry about them.
