Lane, the stuff I got was thru my father in-law. He was a supervisor for a lumber mill and spent a lot of time researching and having lab tests on lubricants to prevent costly down time. Not sure where to buy it, says LE Lubrication Engineers Inc on can. I will test it this winter when I do my bike maintenance. Let me put a few miles on it and will pull starter again and see if it stays in place. Guessing any similar lubricant will work. PFFOG wrote about a earlier thread "lube the shaft without disassembly", will check it out. I asked the BMW dealer in Spokane WA and they said never saw a clutch spline failure in their dealership, but recommended lubing the spline of any high mileage bike just because of the dirt issue. They wanted $900 with tax, so that's why I am trying to lub thru the starter. I ride about the same miles as Hellfishtat - 11,000 per year, don't want any breakdown if I can prevent it.
