As of late, I've been using a light coat of moly spline grease from Guard Dog Moly, and like it pretty well. I used white lithium grease prior to that with no issues. I find that whatever you use, pulling it apart and cleaning/greasing every year or so helps keep the action light.
I use superlube for my throttle tube, gears, and chain assembly. It is a synthetic grease that doesn't get hard when cold or become liquid when hot and is translucent. I like the translucence because it gives a quick indication if dirt is in the grease. Superlube is comparable to lithium grease in lubrication and corrosion protection, but a bit more expensive.
