Just put some new tires on my V11 Pirelli diablo rosso II Tires feel great on this bike, new tires always do!

My question is what do you use for spline grease?

Last bunch of times I used mobil 1 synthetic grease and it has done well.

This time I used Honda molly paste as a spline grease any reason this is not good in this application?

Thanks.

Popped a wee bit of moly on mine recently, be interesting to see what folks recommend though.

So no one does this as any part of their maintenance?

Or am I treading on a oil thread that will include the much loved Olive Oil as a response?

Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist

 

Grease the U-joints and sliding splines with each tire change. Choice of grease is vast - as P.Roper might would say (and I paraphrase deeply here): "Yak fat is vastly superior to no grease at all." (Sorry, Pete - love ya , buddy :wub: )

 

Be careful not to pack the shaft while apart and find it will not go back together. Be sure the marks line up (or make fresh marks) if you pull the shaft halves apart.
