Final drive maintenance..

That is a proper looking shop. Is there a way I can block you from seeing my disorganized garage whenever I post?

Ha Ha, thanks. But its not the shop, but what you can do in it. I'm not sure I'm ready to tear down the rocket engine like you have. I'm a lot more familiar with the KTMs

My GT has done 7000miles now, but I'll be using that on my next service, thanks for that link

Will you be doing the splines behind the cush drive too Martin?

I had some great moly paste from Beamer Boneyard I used when I had a R1200RT, but not sure if they still carry it. There's post after post about the content of this or that product and how formulas have changed (always lowering moly content), so I decided to make my own. Now I use moly grease from auto parts store (low amount, I'm sure) and mix in moly I got from Amazon. I've found that when I open things up again for a clean and re-lube that my concoction holds up super well.

I got some of that too. My tube of Honda Moly 60 Paste is almost gone.

I've been holding off fitting my rear tyre since I started reading about this. This is what I got

MOLYKOTE® BR-2 Plus High Performance Grease

NLGI Grade 2 - MO-based grease with a base oil viscosity of 110 cSt at 40°C, lithium-thickened, uses molybdenum disulfide as solid lubricant.

I can't believe the price difference with the Honda moly -$16 and €69 in good old rip off Ireland
