If you read the link in Mulley's threads in depth, it suggests that the Honda Moly is at best 30 percent even though they claim 60. The Loctite brand tests as stated. Very high content and much cheaper than Krytox.

Tested up to 750 degrees i'm not going to pull hairs out of my head over it,what you have to be viglant about is what the machanic who is changing your tire is using. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Shaft.html#Grease
Sticks well onto the splines (very "pasty") and has more moly than the honda equivalent (65% vs 60%) and a cool blue-grey color."
"I use this Moly Paste on the splines on Honda shaft-drive motorcycles
including the ST-1100 and ST-1300.
The paste has a much higher content of MoS than typical "moly greases"
and does a better job of protecting the splines in the rear drive
of the bikes."
Hey Amigo,
FYI - What you posted was PASTE and NOT grease.
I researched this some and found this: Moly grease is for high pressure metal sliding against metal situations hence its use on splines and pinion gears. Moly grease and paste are both used when the surfaces are under pressure. I would use the paste on the front sprocket simply because it has a much higher moly content and I think will stay on the spines longer than the grease. Moly paste does not lose any appreciable amount of it's properties up to maybe 600 degrees F because of both the moly disulfide properties and its relatively low fraction of the carrier 'grease'. The paste is used on Honda rear drive splines and thrust washers in shaft drive models but should be fine on the sprocket. Beware it's hard to get off skin so be careful using it. On the sprocket application you can spread a little with the tip of a flat blade screwdriver.
