The final drive on my 1100 Pan started going "yang yang yang" on overrun... So I checked the oil in the Bevel box and it was grey and gritty... "not good". I was taking the wheels out for new boots, and this is what I found:



Similar coresponding wear on the splines on the gears... in other words they are fooked... (replacement bevel gears are £402+vat for a matched pair, the "spider" £152 + vat) "OUCH".

Seems this problem is the culmination of a few things...

1. The disintegration & non replacement of two O rings.

2. Ditto one plastic "thrust" washer

3. Ingress of road detritus and brake dust,

4. Incorrect spline lubricant used...

"Good s/h" drive Spider from Ebay



Anyway, turns out the "correct" stuff to use on the splines is pretty much obsolete. And "Dealer Workshop" recommendation of using "Moly Grease", or "LM Grease" is incorrect. Ordinary Moly Grease is far too thin, too low a melting point etc... the "Paste" required is known by Honda as "Moly 60" and is quite tar like so it doesn't get squeezed out of the splines... it doesn't melt and run out and doesn't pick up dust and turn into grinding paste.

The correct stuff, is available from here: http://www.motocrossworld.com/site/scripts/product_browse.php?product_id=22378

So lessons kids... make sure you know all the seals and spacers that "SHOULD" be present on your wheels, make sure the tyre company/garage use the correct grease/paste if you have a shafty...

Does it have aHonda part number? If so I might be able to get it, it's bound to be used on a piece of machinery somewhere.

The Honda Part # is 08734-0001 (I've bought it from the shop link in my first post).

I've heard it called "hammer grease" too.

We used a similar compound where I used to work called 'Anti-scuffing paste' made by Rocol and is still used on shaft splines by the Landrover forums. On some of my old cars I just used the graphite grease as used in the cv joints as this was very high melting point. When heated enough to dry out it just turned into powder.

Just re-read this thread - a well documented Pan fact is the existence of a hidden third (3rd) O ring inside the hub spider - did you find this and check it when assembling the spare parts - not a problem to check/replace when next the wheel is off + a teaspoon max of the 'paste' is plenty when lubricating the contact areas!!

We can get it, but we don't get much off the price so can't beat that. Just a thought.

I love shaft drives, never a problem unlike those nasty medieval chains.

Until there is a problem then its a disaster.

Yes I found that one too. Easy to see how they go unnoticed if they disintegrate!

You are not wrong there. Did anyone mention disintegrating BMW GS shaft drives?!
