Has anyone ever heard of Shell Lethinax A grease??

It is mentioned in a Yamaha QT50 50cc motorcycle service manual from 1979. There is no info on Google. :-O

Even Shell's search page returns no results.
The QT50 owner's manual calls for a lithium-based wheel bearing grease and then specifies Shell Lethinax A. It is likely that product was readily available in Japan in 1979, but that it isn't super-critical. Just use a good quality lithium grease and you'll be fine.

Thank you for the replies. I will have to go shopping. I don't think my Bel-ray and Maxima stuff is lithium.

I am working on a friend's motorcycle and trying to do it "by the book". :-)
