Bearing grease question

[vaughn]

I'm putting my bottom end back together. Some of the bearings I installed already had blue bearing grease in them (ones that I had to remove the outer seals from). This is in the trans area, not the crank.

My question is, how hard should I try to get that grease out? Will it effect my clutch plates once I am up and running?

Thanks!

That "grease" is to prevent the bearings from rusting during storage.

Install them as is and go ride.

Awesome thats good news! I figured worst case would be having to throw clutch plates at it later anyway. Off to the garage!

It should not be an issue for the clutch especially in such a small quantity.
