For a rather lengthy rundown of all the chemicals, waxes, oils, greases, sealants, etc. that you could ever possibly use on your motorcycle, read Snowbum's article. Focusing just on greases at the moment...you really only need 2 or 3 types. The first is an NLG1-2 grease, a high pressure lithium grease. One brand of this red grease is Chevron NLG2 EP Ultra Duty. I personally bought my local CarQuest brand Extreme Pressure Premium Grease, which states on the back that it is an NLG1-2 grease. This grease is used alone primarily on bearings (steering column, wheel bearings, swing arm bearings). It is also recommended for the clutch throwout bearing parts.
I also use a regular Moly grease for most other applications that do not call for a high pressure grease.
