i finally got around to tearing the new wrf 250 apart to grease all the bearings, i did expect to find little or no grease in them but to my horror i find the most abused bearings on a bike, the shock/swingarm linkage bearings had some kind of plastic/glue in them instead of grease??? no it is not hard grease!! diesel fuel dissolved it to some extent , enough to get the rollers apart and set them in some mobil 1 good old red grease.. be warned these bearings are not encased in a cage they are loose,if you lose one roller you are screwed, what a joke, how long could these possibly have lasted, there was no grease nor could you have ever put any type of lubrication on them,, no not even K-Y!!! pitiful!!:think :(
