Anyone find over-greased relays on their 350?

This was in the middle of June this year, I don't think I put 1000 miles on it after that but all trouble free miles.

The clean relay socket just got a light dab of clear dielectric grease, probably Permatex brand. Just a little 2-3mm bead will be plenty. On my fuses I just rubbed a little on each contact and put them back in.

That reminds me, I need to find a tool to make pulling those fuses easier if needed out on the roadside.
Amazon has inexpensive plastic tools to pull the fuse and small enough to slide into the tool kit. But get one that has a positive review. A small pair of stainless-steel tweezers is likely to do the same thing, cost the same, and still fit with the supplied tool kit. Long rides I will carry a multitool which has needle nose pliers. I worry more about why there is no spare 25A fuse. But then if that is all I worry about, I have almost no worries at all. I have not cleaned out the white grease yet, 3200 miles, but I have everything on hand for when I start to have problems. I take note of all comments and did notice when I added a USB port how much gunk was in the spare plug in the headlight.
