Rear wheel splines lubricant?

[John Roberts]

I have been using LiquiMoly grease for yonks but read recently that the stuff to use is Optimol. So, what should I be using?

A tube of Optimol will last you a lifetime..and is obviously also for the gearbox splines ( you do lubricate them every year, don't you? ).

As an alternative, I use Hondamoly 60 on my Brick - like Optimol, it has a higher percentage of moly (60%) than typically found in other brands.

Every YEAR?

Don't you know you have to lube them every coffee stop?

You vandal, you.

Just found that the Rider's Handbook recommends Molykote BR2 or Liqui Moly LM47L, but that was way back in 1982, it seems Optimol is more favoured these days- I'll go with that, I think.

Thank you, folks.

Rocol Dry Moly Paste is good for spline lube.
