Mark at CalSci (great windscreens for alot of bikes) has made a website with some useful general motorcycle information.
About grease and greasing splines:

An interesting guy with a small bussines in Sacramento. Dress code in the shop is hawaii-shirt, short and barefooted. beside making great windscreens he raises abandoned german shepherds (had a monster of a dog in the store who planted his nose firmly up my groin and made me freeze up instantly. Not done with the parenting on that one   :shocked: )

I feel confident with his knowledge and the recommendations from the motorcycle manufacturers, so I will stay with Honda Moly 60 for now and sleeps well at night

That's what i have just purchased, i intend to do my splines within the next month, from the feedback he has it seems to be good stuff so time to give it a go.

100 gr will do fine for several years of spline-greasing.

i asked him a few questions  re the 60 % content he replied
This is the stuff I sell loads to bikers just read the feedback it 60% as the name suggests
Just give me a MSG when your ready
Regards Jim

he does 500 grams for 25 quid and a kilo for 50 quid but if 100 grams is enough ill go for that. although i am a bit of a dauber.. :oops:

from looking at your youtube videsos it shouldn't be a problem for you. I intend to do this every 15000 miles. I replaced the seal today

In Italian
guardando il tuo youtube videsos non dovrebbe essere un problema per voi. Ho intenzione di farlo ogni 15000 km. Ho sostituito la guarnizione di oggi
