I am trouble shooting my buell (see X1 error codes) I am rechecking my electric plugs, wires and so forth. Question to you all, would it be bad or good to use some dielectric grease on the plugs to prevent corrosion? I use it on my Kawasaki, and bikes that I have restored, but Harley seems fussy about this stuff. | ||

i used it on my relays cause they had a bad connection and it works fine for me. | ||

Harley is fussy and dumb so i would use it anyways. FKHD  | ||

Yes, use anti-seize on the plug threads, and a dab of dielectric grease on the tips. The latter can also help keep water spray out, if you get caught in rain. | ||

my buddy is a 11 year hd master mechanic (now he owns his own business ) ans uses it on all electrical connections so not all harley guys are dumb some do know what they are doing | ||

I don't think dielectric grease is ever a bad idea. Especially on connections that are exposed to the elements. | ||

I used it on all connections during my X1 rebuild, and have used it any time it's convenient on the XT. Not gonna tear into something that doesn't need fixed just to grease connectors though. So far neither bike has given me any electrical problems. |
