    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

please place this on the list of dumb shaft questions

I put a new rear tire on my 82 1100G. I of course lubed up the splines when it was apart. I went to the parts staore and picked up some Moly lube. Black nasty stuff that it is. I liberally applied the lub and it was poppng out the axel and such when I reassembled the bike to the wheel.

I just drove the bike about 220 miles and noticed that I have some black moly lube on the wheel. I am assuming this is just because I used a bunch of this stuff and this is just the excess blowing out as I cruise down the highway. Of course if I did something profoundly stupid and am destroying the final drive please let me know.

Thank you again for your patience
 
You can sleep Ok tonight, it is just excess lube from your greese job. \\:D/
 
hey there.

it should be ok. make sure it doesnt get on the treads though.

for next time, with Moly60, it doesnt take much to lube up the splines. its really great stuff.

if you used another moly paste, its likely that its moly content is <10%. still better than nothing, but Hondas Moly60 is the way to go.


probably a good idea to change the gear oils too (maybe your one step ahead>?)
