Assume this is for splines, antiseize is a different compound/base

Gonna have to drop that swing arm just as often, you already know gotta get on them output splines, tomorrow though, this exedra max could take more abuse but were gonna put on another, gonna go fast After i get him lubed and ready for the mean streets of nashvegas, gotta lubem up real good

Learned how to clean from @1K9 and his caliper rebuild thread, anyway Brake clean, brushes long and short, emory cloth, and to lube @Mad Dog turned me onto the tungsten disulfide(in the proper amount) and i have always used the extreme pressure yamalube molybdenum disulfide grease and to fill only lucas racing gear oil. Cleanliness is next to godliness

That's what I did. Brake cleaner and picking tools. Cleaner but not as clean. Have to wear gloves for that.

Kevin, what would be the proper amount of lube for the splines? How do you apply it?

U only have to remove the four bolts on the final drive to grease the splines not the swing arm.
thats probably what u meant just in case.

Proper amount i cant really say but i cake it on being cognisant of hyper lock from too much grease, the tube i use i squeeze it on generously and work it In by hand

What is recommended to lubricate the splines with?

I went to the Honda shop and asked what the mechanics were using on the Goldwings. I figured they were the shaft drive bikes with more miles than any other.

A Dremel with a small wire brush works great for cleaning off the old stuff. I use the locktite stuff myself. The moly count is actually higher than what Triumph recommends. Which is a good thing. Steel the Honda lube was changed a few years back and has a low moly count. For the amount a thin covering over all the bare metal is sufficient. I clean and re-lube with every tire change. Locktite is 65% moly, Yamlube is 60% moly. Both meet the specifications by Truimph.
