I've opened up the shaft hub, the bits inside look good, previous owner had used what looks like the same CV Lith-Moly grease that I've been using on a Pan-European ST1100 rear wheel splines for years, (Honda sell a Moly Paste grease which was very expensive.)
I've just brought CV Lith-Moly grease, for hubs and UJ's, Constant velocity and Homokinetic (whats that) joints.
Any problems with using this, I think it is suitable, it looks the same as what was in there.
Only had the bike a week and hopefully it's a keeper. It fits into my Berlingo Multispace van with ease.

Correct Grease is Castrol Spheerol see this previous thread https://yamahatownmatet80.forumotion.co.uk/t387-speerol-grease?highlight=Castrol+Speerol

John,
Thanks for the quick reply and the Ebay link, I've ordered some up, I was impressed with the build design of the shaft, my bike looks like it's not had much attention in the past.
I'll do a few service jobs and start using it. I'm a member of the C90 group and did have an Innova, the T80 will be used on some of their outings unless I suffer from a load of piss taking.
Do you ever join them on rideouts, all stepthrough'ers should stick together, I've had about 7 c50-c90's in the past,

Again thanks for all you do, and sorry to bring up a common question about the oil, but I was just wondering if the grease quoted has been superseded, Castrol keep some stocks for people that prefer using the original stuff on their classic.
Regards
Dave
Also got a Deauville and a Burgman 400 used as back ups.

Grease for the Shaft Bevel Box Empty Spheerol

To my knowledge Castrol have not superseded Spheerol with another product, I suppose if its does the job why change it.
As for ride outs, not my scene, just use my T80 for what it was built for, local transport, commuting.

Mark, it was because your T80 was faster than the C90's that I went out and brought one. Laughing
