[QUOTE="kawdude, post: 714427, member: 42343"] I vote for zerks. If its greases regularly the new grease will push out the old grease and debris. My KX has standard off the shelf needle bearings that would accept grease from a zerk. My guess is that bikes don't come with them because it would cost more to manufacture the part and without zerks it either forces people to go thru the hassle of taking everything apart or the owner could just say @#$% this and let the bearing wear out. I bet there is a high percentage of riders who don't pay attention to this (but of course, not in this forum). I didn't and learned the hard way. Because of the icky, time consuming job the manufacture can make $$$ off people who say !@#$% it and don't take the time to grease (since they didn't provide an easy way to do it) and wear out the bearing and swingarm. Thus creating revenue for the manufacter... Just my .03 cents! [/QUOTE]
