I just lubed my headset with vaseline and it spins really fast, you guys should try it.

I jist use bike grease

 

[brandon kilbury]

triflow lubricant, silicone spray

those both clean bearings out and lube them up..particularly triflow...the silicone cleans more than lubricates for me

 

[CodyChirichiello]

I use some weird oil stuff I found.

 

[davidross]

greese from wal-mart that i got from my friend

 

[Brian Boston]

I clean the bearings with alcohol than soak them in 3 in 1 oil, works wonders

 

[davidross]

i just like mine smooth so i just use greese not oil

 

[Andy Rhode]

tri flo

[honga]

nah man i use my special batch of custom grease, it is 1 part petrol, 1 part RP7 and another part 2 stroke engine oil

Gotta love that whip scooters headset cleaning guide.

I do that myself as well, but I might try paintball lube. That stuff usually works really well on moving parts.

CRC keeps it rust free...and it keeps the bearings clean and fast.

I've been using 2-stroke Goped oil with mine and it's great, if it's gonna work in a burning hot engine spinning 15k rpms it should work with a scooter headset.
