    2020 C650GT cranks vigorously but no ignition

    The side stand and brake switches inhibit cranking, so you have a fuel supply or spark issue.

    Which high-temperature grease?

    I have used Copaslip on the silencer/exhaust pipe joint for the last 7 years without problems. It prevented corrosion and allowed the silencer to be removed and turned as required.
