Honda HN 08798-9010 MOLY PASTE (M77)

EDIT: This review was for the now discontinued "Moly-60 Paste" (in a tube for mini grease-guns). Somehow it got rolled into the "Assembly Lube" reviews here on Amazon. Most of this review is still worth reading though, especially if you have a shaft-drive motorcycle. Seems everyone has now switched-over to synthetic grease for suspension lube. For those who don't already know, your factory service manual recommends this stuff for a reason. This stuff is 60% molybdenum, and that's important. Because moly is an excellent lubricating metal, much better than graphite for high temperature and high pressure applications. Don't think of it as a grease, because it's really all about the moly. I've taken many old suspensions apart. What you find is that the grease is all dried up or washed out and all that remains behind is a dry grey flaky substance that wipes off. That's the moly. The grease carries the moly into the gaps, and then begins to dry up. The moly does the heavy lifting from there. I've been using this stuff since the late 1980's when I bought an 1987 CR-250. My 1998 Suzuki RMX-250 manual calls for 45% moly grease. While Suzuki makes a moly grease, it's in a tub. This is the only grease I know of that will easily fit into a mini-gun and inject through the zerk-fittings. I also use it on the kids various XR's. And if you have a shaft-drive, don't even think of using anything else. Google for the horror stories. Another reviewer pointed out that the tube is already small and comes half-full. This is true, which makes it frustratingly expensive. And not really for use in a full-size grease gun. Fortunately once you get it into where it needs to be, a little bit can go a long way. The waste comes from injecting it there. I can usually do every zerk on one rear suspension/swingarm in an already primed grease-gun. I keep an 18" hose on my mini-grease gun, and can say that in my experience if you have to prime the gun/hose, or you get an old bike which hasn't been greased in a decade, you might just plan on greasing it once now, ride it around, then grease it again very soon. And either one will take a little bit more than just 1 tube. BTW, it can also be helpful to inject through zerks and "work-it-in" before removing stubborn old swingarm bolts. Just FYI, google 'tar-baby'. This stuff can have a habit of getting everywhere. If you touch it then it'll get on you, then anything you touch and so on. If you unknowingly get it on your rag then use that rag on anything else (like a white plastic fender :( ) you'll wish you'd been more careful. The good news is that it'll come back off of most surfaces pretty easy (except that white plastic fender....dooh). But this is just what you want in your suspension. A little really does go a long way. So use it unless you don't mind replacing 30 dollar bolts and bunches of expensive collars all the time. This is the good stuff and I highly recommend it for older suspensions and shaft drive motorcycles. If it calls for it in the manual...use it.

Used the MOLY PASTE (M-77) to lubricate the rear drive halfshafts at the hubs on my Tesla Model 3, applying it with an acid brush. The clicking noise is now completely gone. I only needed about 1 gram per hub mating surface on the outboard side of the left-hand rear drive unit halfshaft, so this product goes a long way and is a great value for the amount you need.

I tried to research this stuff and as far as I can tell M77 stands for 77% moly which is important because the splines on a Honda shaft drive require a minimum 60% moly paste when you are changing your rear motorcycle tire. So I went with this and it appears to be the right choice. I really wish Honda would be clear on the moly content by openly stating the ingredient percentages. There is enough to do a few tire changes with just one 2.65oz tube. I'm tempted to knock a star off for vagueness but that's more a fault with Honda naming/labeling than with the products quality.

Works great! Changed my rear tire for the first time since having the bike.

Kawasaki Concours 14. Correct non sling grease for the rear wheel splines. This grease stays put.

Works great goes a long way don't club it on

I had no idea that drive shafts on motorcycles had to have a special grease on the splines and gears I smeared this on the teeth and splines and when I went down the road it made a funny sound for about 1/2 mile and then it quit and was nice and quiet from then on. Guess it needed to spread it the way it needed it best. but I used plenty to be sure when I smeared it on all the teeth and spline and gears in my honda goldwing 1500 interstate. what a difference as there was regular grease that someone had use for who knows how long.

It's just hurts that quality is not cheap but you get what you paid for!

Worked well on 2019 CRV

Graisse MOLY pour slide de galiper de brake, excellente efficacité

Honda Moly 60 is no longer available so this seems to be the closest alternative for motorcycle drive shafts.

Could / should be sold in a syringe format. Plastic toothpaste type tubes develop leaks and this stuff is messy, gets all over everything and stains everything. It is the right stuff for assembling brakes though. I don't and won't use anything else.
