Which high-temperature grease?

[emseedee]

In the user's manual for my 2016 C650GT, is says that when replacing the silencer (muffler if you're on the other side of the pond), you should apply high-temperature grease around the inside of the silencer pipe. It doesn't say which high temperature grease to use. Would a copper-based grease (e.g. Copaslip or CopperEase) be appropriate? If not, what would you suggest?

Thanks

Mike

I've used this on variator splines on a few C 650 GT belt changes. I believe it's equivalent to the grease that BMW specs.

Thanks, but this isn't the grease I'm talking about. The one I need goes in the joint between the silencer (muffler) and the exhaust pipe. Its sometimes described as packing compound, but BMW refer to it as high temperature grease. I think the purpose it to stop the joint leaking, and at the same time allow it to be dismantled.

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.

Gotcha. Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you. That’s what I was hoping to hear from someone.

Safe riding
