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.
