Motorcycle shaft drive spline grease?

[ViragoBry]

Can anyone suggest the best grease to use on a motorcycle's shaft drive splines? I'm planning to take it apart for inspection and lube tomorrow and I'd like to use the best product for it. I fear it's probably never been done. '96 Virago 750, 10,800 miles.

I have a tub of regular Castrol wheel bearing grease, but am not sure that's what I need. Should I be looking for something with high moly content?

Thanks everyone.

See above post for Krytox grease. Very expensive but apparently worth (I used it on my Guzzi's splines but haven't checked the results yet). Also the common recommendation is to use a grease with 60% moly (Honda has one). Check this useful info:

Hi,
If you are looking for an alternative to Honda Moly60, you can do what I did and order some of this: http://guarddogmolylubricants.com/gd570.shtml

I'm sure the Moly60 will suffice though
