Default What grease? Very stupid question sorry

I fitted Pazzo levers to my sv, and it said to use *grease* on them. Does anyone have any idea what sort?

I know it's probably obvious but I'm not technical- can you tell?

Pretty much any grease is alright on levers. usually sold as multipurpose grease which you'll get in halfords.

P.s not a stupid question at all there's loads of different sorts of grease for different things.

Morning all.

As said, any motor grease will do the job, & is better than none. I find Molybdenum grease to be the best for this sort of application, because of it's dry lubricating properties.

Cheers.
