Does it really need moly in it? Going to do the rear end lube job for the first time. I have been reading the past info of members and see Belray is a popular lube to use on splines and on the pumkin. Thanks in advance

You've read all the opinions, and now you want more opinions? The Honda service manual calls for 60% molybdenum disulfide paste. Others have had success using other stuff, as you've seen in your research.

Moly is an extreme pressure lube.
But pure moly does attract moisture.
Therefore moly is usually offered in a mixture with another lube.
i guess you could substitute another extreme pressure lube having the same cling properties as the paste.
I have used a moly EP wheel bearing greases successfully for this application.

I use TS-moly70 used underwater sea conditions using moly paste honda or better allows re-lube every other tire change per gold wing expert mechanics, using anything else requires re-lube every tire change. moly still protects in ways no other paste/grease can. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Shaft.html#Splinesthese guys were featured in Rider mag yrs ago and had addressed the every other tire change using honda moly lube or better. http://www.jbjcycles.com/p/about-us.html |

Belray is the lube of choice for me. I have been using Belray for years and I have never had any problems.

Before I Triked MGM out, every tire change it got Bel-Ray water proof wheel bearing grease.
Worked for me.

I just ordered 500g tub of the Molykote G-n Metal Assembly Paste from Applied Technologies in Pasco, WA. I found that as an alternate listed in the Honda factory service manual.

I've heard K-y Jelly works good.  |

I've heard K-y Jelly works good. No, peanut butter as long as its the creamy kind... oh, maybe mix it with the KY  |

I've heard K-y Jelly works good. Warming Jell type or old school liquid ? Lljjmm, to answer your ?. I have used several different greases & pastes trying to find which is better. In my opinion the most important thing is to just do it and do it in the correct order. The moly paste may dry up a little more but I've found in my experience all that I've used have been fine. Good luck on your maintainence and follow the correct order of reassembly.  |
