So the maintanence manual has so many different types of grease called out. Not wanting to source each one independantly, i went with this tube off of amazon.
I was most concerned with Al and Steel interactions so made sure i picked one with moly.

I was hoping some of the more technical folks @Bruce Wayne or others could chime in...

this .... safe to use on all threads? I do rear axle nut, claliper bolts, anything bolted to heads/side of motor.

Valvoline Palladium #2 3% Moly, Heavy Duty (HD) Grease 14.1 OZ Cartridge​

Amazon product ASIN B0735RLMCC

I've always used Aeroshell 33MS/64 just since it what I have on hand and white lithium grease on fairing grommets. For caliper bolts, I use copper high temp anti-seize.

It will be fine to use on all threads, definitely better than no lubricant on some threads, for caliper bolts i use copper based anti seize, works better i think, how anti seize works is it initially provides a lubricant for the assembly then when the lubricant eventually dries/evaporates the metal particles that remain provide a lower coefficient of friction that reduces the risk of the bolt seizing. Most titanium bolt suppliers use copper based anti seize.
Always best to check the workshop manual though, some cases like the Yamaha R1 engine case bolts are assembled dry no lubricant.
