kawi calls for moly there b/c of its high heat resistance, +1500?F. My tube came from Honda  :roll: ask for it at the red dealer, u can recognize moly by its very distinct odor.
My personal opinion would be to do it right the first time with factory specified lubricants, but as mentioned, after running awhile the exhaust spooge of burnt 2stroke oil lubes some. They told you to just use BR grease, b/c thats what they had available to sell you. 4oz tube of moly might cost as much as two, 1lb tubs of the blue stuff.  I guess bottom line.....the wrong grease is better than none at all :mrgreen:

on that note, I just remembered lightly coating pv parts with H1R, the last time I did a parking lot top end and only had track box with very limited chemicals :-D

the copper grease i used is not going to melt until +2000"f ,
dont think the lube in fuel is going to lube powervales, gears ,bushes [ except for slightly around exhaust sub ports]
 i would not use any grease less than molygrease quality [ie any gease with a melting point below 1500f]
 melting boiling grease is probabaly going to do more harm than good

 :lol:I knew what you meant! Just razzing. Technically, melting point is when things turn from solid to liquid. Not sure if you can apply that to an amorfious substance like grease, toothpaste, or ketchup( catsup). Thermal breakdown, or viscus change maybe? Again, I knew what you meant, just having fun :roll:
