Just got my new 2002 Grizz 660 and have less than 2 hours on it. Been reading about dielectric grease on the spark plug cap to help with water ingress and subsequent sputtering of the engine. I will not be a lot of water, as I will primarily use this ATV at deer camp, but would like to know the specific grease to put in the cap. I am not a mechanic (or even remotely interested in being one) so I don't plan on doing a lot of modifications.
This ATV soaks up the bumps, and the EBS works super. It will actually skid the tires coming down some steep hills without any braking. Wish the trailer ball stuck out a litle more, as it may interfer with turning radius of a trailer. Plan on getting it out this weekend and putting some miles on it!

Di electric compound is basically non hardening silicone. You can get it at most auto parts stores or electrical supply houses. It is used as an additional barrior against arcing and helps reduce moisture problems.
