I didn't have time to do the splines or anything else, that'll be a job for the colder months if I still have the bike then.

Splines should have been first job before the application of fresh gears

That's a bit like painting fresh gloss over dead flies Steve   :shocked:

Not that it's important now considering I've sold the bike but what do you mean?

(Splines should have been first job before the application of fresh gears).

My spell-check managed to substitute the word Grease for gears  :yes: 

I didn't think that you would actually apply fresh grease before cleaning the splines

Anyway as you say its sold now so.....   :smiley:

The manual states that EVERY time you have the rear wheel off you should apply the Moly grease to the cog thingy otherwise they can wear excessively.

:agree:  the point I was making is that you said 

" I didn't have time to do the splines or anything else, that'll be a job for the colder months if I still have the bike then"

Indicating that you have put fresh moly grease on dirty splines  :wink:

How much did you put on...a whole tube?  There's enough moly there to last a 1000 years.  :mfr_lol:
