Default Lithium grease

Should I be using it on the bolts?

After having the side panels/seat/lowers off a fair bit the last few weeks I noticed they can get a bit stiff (no, I'm not over tightening them honest).

Was wondering if lithium grease is OK to rub round them before refitting them or is there a reason why I should steer clear/use something else.

Nah, a bit of copper slip. Lithium/GP grease will be fine to use though.
