Overdosed on Dialectric Grease?
« on: July 09, 2012, 06:49:28 AM »
Cleaned every electrical connection on the bike with electrical cleaner spray then proceeded to put a dab of dialectric grease on every connector. Then I heard that Deoxit would've been the smarter move. Something about conductive vs. non-conductive, dialectric being the latter...should I get Deoxit and do it again? I'll have some seriously strong hands once this is done if that's the case those connectors are a tiny workout  :yes Love to hear what others think.

The main function of the "dielectric" grease in the electrical connections is to improve the connection by keeping "air" out of the connection.
