final drive play

[timebombprod]

is there a certain amount of play aloud for the final drive gears? do they get sold used commonly? having trouble finding them on ebay and a new one would be $233.

I don't know- someone will if there isn't a mention in the shop manual...but That's the thing about shaft drives...a bit of wear and they have the same snatch as a loose chain and sprockets... but harder to fix! so take it easy starting out from stoplights. I tried to ride mine "staid"...as though it was an old Beemer R75

How worn are the actual splines on each part? One thing I noticed immediately when I fitted a new driven spline (on the wheel side) was how much more tightly it fitted to the final drive hub. The old one on the wheel wasn't visibly worn, but that was on a different wheel and I'd had no reason to suspect it was defective. So, you can run with a bit of play in them, as long as the splines aren't showing signs of wearing away.

The hub that attaches to the rear wheel seems to be worn but I'll have to take a video, I'm gonna clean both gears so the condition of both are able to be shown

Remove that wheel drive form the final drive and show us the splines. Looks like there is a bit of wear. If it looks like this then your in trouble

Also when you reassemble you need to use a Moly Paste for the splines. Honda makes a good product I use.

That's definitely on its way out - replace and never worry about it again, as long as you keep it lubed every tyre change.
You can get a used one in perfect condition for ten to twenty bucks.

There are several on e-bay and the one I posted doesn't look to bad. Always taking chances with a used part. the least expensive is from cmsnl. The 2nd picture you posted doesn't show a lot of the actual splines but yes I can see some wear. Nothing that would fail soon. You could put it back together with some moly past and keep an eye on it.

thats horrendous! luckily nowhere near that lol

[craz1]

Ya 4,000 is not that many miles. Just use the moly lube. Regular bearing grease won't cut it

[timebombprod]

Okay forsure, is it okay to buy any brand of moly lube or are some better than others?

Thanks!

[craz1]

I just use the Honda Moly paste I gave a link for. I don't have to guess on the quality.
