2008 Jonway 250 to my surprise I open it up and A COVER with a seal and GREASE dark in color and sticky😕 ,I thought these things were suppose to be dry ,wasn't sure what to do so I cleaned it out really good and put back together with no grease, any thoughts ? Also there are rubber or plastic seals in the openings where the slide goes,I assume there to keep grease from coming out but it slows down the slide ,I did lube up the slide with some Magnalube i had laying around loosen it up quit a bit,mind you this is a project that i have not road yet everything i have done to it have been on its center stand ,fluids carb  clean and currently trying to tune the carb with its no access air fuel ratio screw :-(

forgot to mention that the grease seam to not serve any purpose because all of it was slung up and,away from the roller areas which were actually dry 😕
