What do I lube the splines with? GS1000G

[Noreg]

I can get moly grease from a local store, no idea how much moly.

I looked at loctite moly, it would be like 35usd for the can and 275usd for the shipping (??!??!).

Is there anything else? Can I leave the previous grease? Add something else?

I know Honda Moly 60 is the crem del a crem, but I think its discontiniued?

There is a lot of Moly grease going about that is less than 20% molybdenum.
It's runny. The proper stuff is more like a paste.
Hold out for something like the grease supplied with universal joints on driveshafts.

What do you mean hold out? I need to put my wheel back on. Should I just do nothing?

I found a store in the US that would send me 15 lb of loctite moly paste, but its like $950 for the moly and the shipping (and 25% vat when it arrives)... Its the eight online store I tried...

I always used Honda Moly Paste but don't know if the same concentration of it is still available.

If you can send me a crate of Honda Moly 60, Ill send you a crate of the finest Norwegian chocholate I can find (Id also be willing to smuggle you something mroe exotic as whale or raindeer meat).

I cant source any at a reasonable price. If the moly is half the price of a new bike, I might as well lube it with moly grease from the store and buy a new bike when the splines fail.

Molykote MoS2 paste

Ironically the easiest source I can find, is from EBAY, shipped from the US. But that is affordable and avail. The only question, what do I use while I wait for it to ship? Like there is something stick and black on them now.

I am confused about M77. Some say it has very little moly. Some say it can't be used for final drives, even for hondas. I honestly have no idea, but the consensus seems to be, more moly is better.

That is way mroe expensive than the Molykote MoS2 paste (like twice the price when shipping is included).

If in doubt, go by your Suzuki dealer with the spline.
They will probably grease it with the proper stuff for free.

They seem higly overworked and uninteressted in my buisness. But I can drop by tomorrow and ask if they ahve some (I need the washer for the oil drain plug, and possibly a new oil drain plug too).

How do you wash off the old stuff?

Anything you have at hand.
Cloth, towel, toilet paper .... WD40, gasoline and petroleum work well.

I am sure it will clean off the old stuff with no issue. Im worried about the wheel bearings (if I have those?) and o-rings and stuff.

Wheels bearings soak in gasoline or maybe laquer thinner.
You could try contacting Honda Marine in Norway
