So in an all out effort to steal this thread, am I doing grievous damage to my rear splines by using molly grease every tire change?  That works out to about every 10,000 or so miles.  I'm on MY third set of tires.  I honestly THOUGHT I was doing right.  I'm going to the shop tomorrow. 

Please forgive me oh God of the Kawasaki's, I didn't mean to do wrong...  I repent....

Say 50 hail Kipasses and pay a visit to your local Honda dealer for a tube of moly 60.

stl,
  You were doing the right thing, clean and lube the wheel splines at each rear tire change.  Brianś target in the OP were the
driveshaft splines.

Yeah, but that Honda stuff is the only easily available source of moly paste that I know of.

I could actually make a reference that perhaps using Honda lube on the back end of the bike is the root of all problems, including those with the <k-word> but I don't want to start any more internet lore....  ;D

I have never seen a thread drift off into any bizarre areas and I certainly do hope this one is not the first to do so. If it does though you could always demand your forum fee back.....

Threads about spline grease are not so bad but a thread that mentions rear end lube can get out of hand in a hurry….. opps, sorry.

HONDA Lube, my HONDA Jacket, my HONDA parked next to my bike, and KiPass are the only reasons my '10 has went >41,000 miles without even a header bolt coming loose  ;D

Did you really just use 'lube' and 'rear end' in the same sentence???  ;D

Molygraph. Just a wild guess, but Moly and Graphite perhaps? ;)
