Hi
I'm about to replace the final drive oil on my "lubed for life" R1200S.
For the life of me I can't remember what grease to use on the splines.Is Ebay a good source for a small tube?

Thanks

Most 'experts' recommend Honda moly 60 paste. I bought a tube from a motocross specialist in Rugby but you should be able to find it online.

A small tube will last approximately forever.

Give or take an eon.

Use Honda Moly 60. Search for it on fleabay (apparently not available in Europe). A replacement in Europe would be Castrol Optimol PL or Optimol TA.

I think this must be where Herb got it from. I just ordered some. They'll nail you on the postage though.

That's the place. What did they charge for postage? I go past there most days. Assuming they have stock I am more than happy to collect and post at cost if anyone else needs some.

£4.20!

So, nine weeks down the line it still hasn't arrived and although my first chase email from 9th Sep was answered my latest from last Wednesday has not.

When I did the splines on the 1100S I used lith-moly grease as it is readily available at Hafords

Interesting Steve, and thanks. That might be the go.

Let me know if you want some.
