Does that make any sense? ~~~unless you say so=:-) FWIW I have mixed the moly 60 paste with motor oil to lube cam journals (caps) when reassembling (installing cam shafts) I beleive Honda recommended this in their facotry service manual. I was using Mobil One red cap oil in that bike so that is the oil I mixed with the moly paste. I suppose on start up it helps cut down on wear...until the engine oil is flowing Jake Reddick Fla.

I'd even thought of mixing but took so dam long to push all the lube into the bearing it wasn't worth the mess.

For gods sake I don't want to make this an oil or chain lube thread. > Monty > > > I will say this, the moly in the grease lube the factory used was not as high of a concentrate as Honda Homda Moly Paste 60...but they did use it, for swingarm needle bearings > > > > > > BTW, the needle bearings were in very good condition butr, this bike by my standards when I bought it, was a garage queen. No one ever rode it hard, nor put many miles on it...but that was one of the main reasons I bought it > > > > > > FWIW, I did not use a moly grease lube when I reapplied a lubricant in the swingarm needle bearings. I used Lucas 'Red N Tacky', a high grade marine waterproof grease. If I had the same lube the factory used, I would have used it but I'm confident the lube I used, although w/o a moly component, is suitable for swingarm needle bearings > > > > > > > > > > Jake > > > >
