skydoc_17 Posted April 13, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2010 Honda makes a really fine grease just for this purpose called "Moly 60". It's not cheap, ($15.00 a tube at my local Honda stealer) but it does an excellent job, I use it on every bike I service. ANY grease would be better than NO grease! I have a "graveyard" of ruined final drives that were not properly set up or maintained. Yammer Dan is right on about greasing the rear wheel splines and the drive shaft splines in the final drive with every tire change. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted April 13, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2010 I found some at harbor freight that is Moly-Graph Grease. Extreme pressure long life. Base Type: Lithium 12 Hydroxy Stearate Sea-Lube is Brand name subsidiary of CRC Industries contains molybdenum and graphite to establish fine micron plating on all working surfaces withseand heavy load, water and shock. Anybody know enough to knowif this is as good as the Honda?? Lot cheaper. I'm going to try it and see how it stays in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
