This is the BEST VIDEO on youtube for ANY Yamaha XVS650 V Star owners to see. You also have to grease the differential splines on the Yamaha XVS 1100 V Star. If the splines are not greased they WILL FAIL.

I had to have that piece made by a turner because of this (and because I live in Venezuela and this was at the peak of the crisis), not particularly the easiest piece to make mind you, no one wanted to have anything to do with it because how the other end is shaped but in the end it turned out alright.

Great video! I chose to service my Vstar 650 myself. It was not a very easy job with the jack and other tools I had. Its almost a two man job when reinserting the drive shaft back into the engine splines. Next time I will pay a reputable repair shop and have them do the work. I am over 70 years old, so that didn't help!

The best grease to use for this job is Honda Moly 60, a very high moly grease that is optimized for durability on driveshaft splines. Also, you don't mention the torque specs and the specific sequence of reassembly and torquing.

Your intentions are good but you are doing more harm than good with this video. The spines are lubed at the factory with 60% moly paste. It is the ONLY lube you can use on the splines. Axle grease will be thrown off and the spines will be destroyed in about 2000 miles. There is no scheduled maintenance for lubing them in the owners manual or shop manual because that factory 60% moly paste will last 100,000 miles. BUT: IF you take your bike to a shop that does not know how to handle a shaft drive to get your rear tire changed, and they wipe off the 60% MOLY paste and put axle grease on it, your drive shaft is TOAST. If someone watches this video and wipes off the factory 60% MOLY paste and puts on axle grease.... same deal. I only know of one source for the correct lube: Loctite Moly Paste 51048. An 8oz bottle is about $35 online. DONT use anything else unless it clearly states it is 60% moly. The Vstar 650 is the most reliable motorcycle made (Consumer Reports), and a big part of that is the shaft drive requires NO maintenance and its bullet proof. But its not fool proof. If you buy a used bike and pull the back wheel off the moly should look dark grey or black on the splines. If they look brown or caramel like axle grease, then dont ride the bike till you get the proper 60% Moly. If you are not sure dont risk it. The rear hubs sell used for hundreds of dollars, and again these bikes are highly reliable, so the only ones you normally find being parted out are wrecks.
