[QUOTE="thirtyfour, post: 695095, member: 47860"] most of the jap bikes have very little or close to no grease from the factory, at the swing arm and at the shock linkage, just enough to keep it from rusting till it gets to the consumer. My 2000 KX ( i got it used) had the bottom, shock linkage needle bearings frozen solid. the upper two is nearly shoot. whan I replace the 3 bearing set , I will install grease fitting for the linkage and for the swing arm , just like my DRZ had it. actually the center part of the linkage where the bearings sit, has a groove machined, and it seems like that it also has a flat spot outside on the links where the grease fitting should go. once you got the fitting you just pump some grease in time to time , and it will keep any water out nicely and if any got it it will surely force it out. the main thing is when you drill the passage way for the grease fitting, make sure that all the aluminum shvings are removed. the best time to do this when the old bearing is removed. i normally use marine type grease (tube) from walmart. don't forget your steering head bearings those needs to be relubed as well.
