Grease and Lubes ???

[phill.c]

Hello,
My bike has been stood since December ive been doing a few jobs cleaning polishing and so on. What I want to know is before I put it back on the road do I need to use any grease or lubes for the the following:
Wheels spindles
Levers
Calipers
Throttle tube - just put a new one on
Cables.
If somebody could tell what I need to use for each one that would be great or if there is anything else I need to do.

Thanks
Phill.c

Wheel spindles - high temp grease, NOT copper grease, the copper grease breaks down.
Levers - Same as spindles, if only because it is slightly better than copper grease.
Calipers - brake grease if you're talking about the pistons, high temp again if you're talking about sliding calipers
Throttle tube - ditto, don't use copper grease near electrical bits and pieces.
Cables - If they're teflon lined, you shouldn't need to lube them but, if you decide to anyway, do NOT use WD40, it causes the teflon to swell and makes them worse. 3-in-1 oil is probably best.

Cheers
