    Temp here rise up to 40 deg in summer and more. In need for a good grease that wont liqudize and run out in hot summers.

    Personally I would go with a waterproof grease.

    Waterproof wheel bearing grease.

    Also, I recommend thrust bearings for the steering stem of a VFR. I replaced my ball bearing steering stem bearings with thrust bearings from All Balls. It completely changed the front end feel. Best mod I've done to my bike. And cheap and easy to do.
