View Full Version : Greasing the rear suspension links on my ZXR400

I attempted to grease the three rear suspension linkages this morning but the grease was pissing out the sides of the nozzle. We removed the nipples and made sure there were no blockages and then had a little poke up into the grease cavity. Reassembled and still no dice, that is, it appears there are blockages.

My question is, will I be able to get some grease into the linkages without disassembling the whole rear end of the bike?

Cheers.

Try it with the suspension fully suspended (wheel off the ground & no load on the linkage) then again with the suspension fully weighted (compressed). grease galleries are usually located where the highest load points are, so when there's some wear the clearance deminishes making greasing nigh on impossible.
