[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 124651, member: 17697"] Since you pulled your linkage apart and greased it twice in 500 miles there may be a chance that you put the bearings in backwards and damaged them in the process. The service manual shows the bearings needing to be installed with the numbers facing outward. If not, they can be damaged when you press them in. Also a slight amount of play is considered acceptable. I don't have my manual with me as I write this so I couldn't look up the tolerances. Another possibility is that you didn't tighten the linkage to specs when you put it back together. Loose bolts will definitely wear things out. The bolt that connects the rocker link to the frame is kind of difficult to tighten. Your linkage getting slop in 500 miles isn't considered normal. I neglected to grease my linkage until around 500 miles and it was in perfect shape. There was not a lot of grease, but that is normal for a new KDX. [/QUOTE]
