ken Posted February 8, 2011 #1 Posted February 8, 2011 I plan to grease up every thing in the rear end and the driveshaft of my RSV while the tires off for some fresh rubber. Should I use moly 60 on all the gears and the hub fingers or should I used bearing grease on the hub gears and fingers?
RedRider Posted February 8, 2011 #2 Posted February 8, 2011 Moly60 on hub pins, splines, and drive shaft splines. RR
Guest Posted February 8, 2011 #4 Posted February 8, 2011 Make sure your wearing a good pair of disposable nitrile gloves. That stuff is sure hard to get off your hands.
1joeranger Posted February 8, 2011 #5 Posted February 8, 2011 Someone mentioned that you can get more of that for less from a Honda Car Dealership then you can from a Honda MC dealership! If you try that let us know!!!
BigBoyinMS Posted February 8, 2011 #6 Posted February 8, 2011 Honda or Acura car dealer. Same 8 oz tube but the price should be around $10. If they don't have it they can usually order it and have it the next day. Part# is 08734-0001.
RandyR Posted February 8, 2011 #7 Posted February 8, 2011 The moly lube is really a very high pressure metal to metal lube. Most of these applications the moly isn't helping.
KiteSquid Posted February 8, 2011 #8 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I plan to grease up every thing in the rear end and the driveshaft of my RSV while the tires off for some fresh rubber. Should I use moly 60 on all the gears and the hub fingers or should I used bearing grease on the hub gears and fingers? I too agree that you should use Honda Moly60 in all of those locations. I put it on using an Acid Brush from the plumbing department of a hardware store, but I cut the bristles off to about 3/8" length so they are STIFF!!!! The moly lube is really a very high pressure metal to metal lube. Most of these applications the moly isn't helping. Actually it helps a lot especially when shifting gears when normal grease will migrate out of the contact area the Moly stays put!!!! Edited April 15, 2011 by KiteSquid

uechi kid Posted February 8, 2011 #10 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) So, Moly-60 is a Honda product. What does Yamaha recommend? And I'm guessing Moly-60 isn't the same thing as Moly-graphite. Edited February 8, 2011 by uechi kid
KiteSquid Posted February 9, 2011 #11 Posted February 9, 2011 So, Moly-60 is a Honda product. What does Yamaha recommend? In the service manual Yamaha only lists "molybdenum disulfide grease"... Honda Moly60 is a small container of a high quality moly paste. It is PROBALLY a Molykote product repackaged for Honda. you should read the Wikipedia article on molybdenum disulfide And I'm guessing Moly-60 isn't the same thing as Moly-graphite. Correct!!!!! in a spline applicaitn Moly60 is supperior!!!!!! It is a high percentage of Moly that makes splines last a long time!!!!!!!! Most Moly greases are about 4% moly while Moly60 is 40% Moly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uechi kid Posted April 13, 2011 #13 Posted April 13, 2011 Has anyone heard of CV2 by Redline? Will it work for lubing the splines on the rear wheel hub? http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=82&pcid=17 Thanks

Globewalker Posted April 13, 2011 #15 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Well then:95: I got some off ebay. I think it's a 3oz tube for 11.47. Bend over please. hmm maybe not.. I just bought some recently from local Honda car dealer and it was $13.10 for a 3oz tube!!! It seemed high for the size for sure. I think BigBoy you may be wrong about the 8oz because I got the same part number on my invoice that you listed. But that 3 oz tube could last a very long time.. I greased the rear splines, etc.. at a recent maint day and barely made a dent in it.. And I used someones acid brush idea and that worked good. Edited April 13, 2011 by Globewalker add
uechi kid Posted April 13, 2011 #16 Posted April 13, 2011 So, about the Redlind CV-2. Is that a yes or a no?
Primebeef Posted April 15, 2011 #17 Posted April 15, 2011 Well then:95: I got some off ebay. I think it's a 3oz tube for 11.47. Bend over please. I bet it was the same place I just ordered my tube from (Dexter Honda Yamaha, in Michigan) I called the Honda car dealership here and they wanted $19.00 plus tax. The Dexter people where the cheapest place I could fine. $11.47 which included shipping.
friesman Posted April 15, 2011 #18 Posted April 15, 2011 REdline makes some good items, but dont know anything about that.... Brian
KiteSquid Posted April 15, 2011 #19 Posted April 15, 2011 So, about the Redlind CV-2. Is that a yes or a no? If you mean Red Line CV-2 then I would say that Honda Moly60 is preferred as CV-2 does NOT contain molybdenum disulphide according to its MSDS I found HERE but according to it's web page HERE it contains "Red Moly" whatever that is....
