I need Moly 60

Hi,
It seems as if Moly 60 paste is unobtainable here. Does anyone know where I can get some or buy online. I need a supplier who will accept PayPal and will ship at reasonable rates to South Africa.
 
if I squeezed some in a container and "posted" it to you would that be ok?
 
Honda shops carry it, although in England it was very expensive and had to be special ordered, hopefully in South Africa it's not so hard to find.

Honda local dealership said no stock in the country and they will have to order from Belgium!!! Made me wonder what they use in their workshop.:-k
 
Suzuki actually still stock it in a small tube here..... it's about $9 from memory. Did you try your Suzuki guys?

I have tried all the motorcycle people and the lubrication distributors here. I have even asked the mechanic in their workshops and one even showed me the "multipurpose" grease he uses!
I will have to order it from the USA, if anyone knows of any suppliers that will send to South Africa and accept Paypal I will appreciate. I did not find any on ebay for Honda Moly 60 paste yet.:(
 
Do you have any ATV dealers ? Look for Polaris Premium U-joint grease
3 0z grease gun type tube. High molly grease
 
Hi Andre. I purchased a 50g tube from Suzuki in Australia. Part number 99000-25140. Cost $14.50. I have a spare tube I can send to you if you like. I don't need to use the moly yet, until I am putting the camshafts back in. I can order another one. No Probs.

Let me know.
 
U-joint grease is high moly content and has graphite to boot. You can get it at most Napa stores.
 
Sure, Napa is in South Africa, just the color of the sign is green and black. :D
Missed that he was in SA, so go to a car dealer and buy a pack of Ujoint grease, the stuff that is used for inside the boots on the front of cars.

Lynn,
Thanks I will look at this. In actual fact I have high moly grease for CV joints, but it is very liquid and not as sticky as the Moly 60 and very messy. I have browsed this on the Internet quite a bit and it seems as if there is a lot of debate and views , but most are sure that Honda Moly 60 will work and others may or may not be so good and an expensive repair later will be the deciding factor. So I would rather use the right stuff here if possible.
Thanks for the tip anyway, its appreciated.

Don,
Thanks for the offer. There is a possibility that I may get sorted, if not I will definitely take you up on that if you do not mind. Its quite amazing that it cannot be found on ebay at all. I see people are recommending CV joint moly, which is very liquid and messes a lot. I was wondering if any long term experience on that gives a similar result for these splines.
Maybe a tip when you do yours, I saw a picture of a BMW where the actual driveshaft spline into the final drive was badly worn and they claimed that this grease should preferably be used on that spline as well.
Keep well.
 
i was fortunate that the good guys at a local shop actually use the proper paste, 50+% molybdenum + graphite, very thick and dark grey in color
they just gave me as much as i needed for the wheel splines
the smallest quantity that i could buy at the engineers supply shop was $40

psyguy,
I think this is one hidden area where one should use proper lubrication it seems. Someone mentioned that we should check this everytime we remove the back wheel or keep a spare set of splines!
Apparently BMW has a type made by Castrol that contains alluminium as well.

I heard this little gem the other day:
Your bike is your most prize prossession, you can drive her hard, but do not abuse her. Service her regularly, if she needs maintenance do not procrastinate, buy her the best parts and products when needed. Do not let other riders ride her. Give her a nice protected home to sleep in at night. Clean and dress her well, show her off to the other riders and they will envy you.
She will then show her appreciation by giving you long and good service for many years and be ready for a long trip at any time.

There was a comment from someone: He sounds just like my marriage counsellor!;)
