    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Did I grease it enough?

Hello,



When I had my swingarm off recently, before I put the back end together again, I cleaned and re-greased the back splines. What I did exactly, was clean it with a rag, q-tip , and WD-40. I had some 60% molybdenum disulfide paste, (called MOLY anti-seize paste) , and regreased it with that pretty thoroughly. I am just not sure that I used enough quantity. I would estimate that I probably used about 1 oz(possibly 2?). of the paste for the whole job. I painted every bare part/spline/rubber/plastic on the inside of the drive-shaft / wheel assembly , and packed in some extra grease.


Also, what are the consequences of over-filling the front gearbox with the hypoid gear oil?
 
Is it rated as high pressure and hi temp? Those are the biggies for drive splines...it sounds like what you have may be designed specifically as an anti-sieze, which will soon disperse under a high pressure application, check the tube or whatever for appropriate applications and make sure.
 
Well, the thing is, that I got it for free. I went to a Honda dealership, and they couldn't sell it to me, for some reason, so they gave me a sample to take home. It had the same colour as some of the old stuff that I cleaned out (sparkly bronze colour) and had a very thick grease like consistency.

anti seize

I agree with Daveo, I don't think anit seize is a lubricant, just because it looks the same as something else doesn't mean it is.......Mike
