Drive spline temperature?
« on: May 07, 2015, 12:53:29 PM »
Does anyone have an idea what the temperature of the rear drive spline would run at?

I ask now that Honda has stopped making the Moly 60 in the small cartridge and is now going to a smaller M77 assembly paste.  I am told the new paste comes in a smaller 2.65 ounce tube and costs a lot more. 
So I am starting to look at other options.  So I was wanting to know what the temperatures that we might find in normal operation on a stinking hot day that the final drive spline might be looking at.

Never heard of it being an issue.  I would think all moly lubes would resist m/c transmission parameters.

Grab this on eBay while it lasts:

Dear with postage, but you don't need much each time.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Thanks guys.  I was not indicating that temperature is a problem but rather just would like to know what temp is likely to be, hoping someone might know.  Is it 50, 100, 150 or 200C?  As I look at grease, temp thins it out and I notice that I often see my moly has moved away from the spline and has spun out in radial lines.  So I wonder if I obtained a higher temp rated extreme pressure grease then I might be actually better off.

I just happen to have an unopened tube of Honda Moly 60 paste which I bought from the US sometime in 2013 so I took a pic of the label. Temp for Moly ranges from 75F to 750F (23.8C to 398.9C) for moving parts. Directions say to apply a thin film but is that enough?

Alan,  Thanks very much.  400c is very hot so no issue with it thinning out.  Must simply be centrifugal force throwing it out a bit.
Super.

I don't think they have stopped making it as it's still on the supplier website in the US http://prohondaoils.com/maintenance/moly-paste/
