The service manual list the use of honda moly 60 paste for the rear tire assembly to the gear box. What are you guys using?
Moi aussi! Surving Sandy has brought out my long surpressed French!Honda Moly 60 paste. Have used it on all of my Drive Shaft bikes.
Glad to see you back.Moi aussi! Surving Sandy has brought out my long surpressed French!
I just bought a Tube today to replace my 3 year old tube that I used up yesterday on my ST13. My dealer price was $10.39, but I get a 10% discount so my price was $9.35. If you are just using it for your NT. It should last a good 5 years or longer. That is at a rate of one tire change a year or so. A Little bit goes a long-way, but do be liberal when applying it.Honda moly 60 paste costs $12 delivered on Amazon...I wonder what the dealers are asking?
The BikeBandit part numbers given by Michael (thanks Michael!) have what look like metric sizes associated with them, which are:
PN: 91302-MA-003 bikebandit PN: 730641, 61X2
PN: 91358-MB0-000 bikebandit PN: 731179, 46.5X3.5
PN: 91356-MB0-005 bikebandit PN: 731157, 35.2X2.4
The problem is, none of these sizes are "standard." Can anyone verify these sizes? The reason I ask is that the Honda prices are outrageous (as usual) and I would like to buy at least ten of each to have on hand, and standard sizes are available which I feel would work in each case. I plan on having this bike for a while!
Another question related to finding an equivalent "standard" size: from the pictures provided by Chuck it looks like all the o-rings are "static" rather than "dynamic" in that they are not required to provide a sliding seal . . . is this correct?
One site I looked at had the 61 mm O-ring for 50 cents. I have no idea what kind of minimum quantities you would need to order.Billy, those are standard metric O-rings.
One of the pieces of equipment that I work on over here is a HEMTT (mil-speak for a BFT - Big Freakin' Truck) with a metric HIAB crane. "Standard" O-rings will not work on the crane. They are either a tiny bit too big or a tiny bit too small.
The Honda rear wheel is not a critical app because you are not trying to seal oil under pressure.
Google "metric O-rings" and you will find plenty of places to order O-rings at industrial, meaning "generic", prices. It's like ordering bearings from a bearing supply place instead of a dealer.
