Can I use Molybdenum disulphide grease...
...on parts of the bike that just tell you to use "grease"...or should i go and buy some normal grease and use that? Like the wheel bearings etc...

No, use the correct grease as specified in the manual. It wouldn't specify a type if it didn't matter.
A standard Lithium based grease is cheap as chips from any auto factor for a big pot. Why risk buggering your bike up for a few £
