Grease nipples on the rear suspension linkage

Post by arrivisto » Mon Sep 08, 2008 10:21 am

Hi, Has anyone put grease nipples on the rear suspension linkage? I did this on a Mark 1a VFR750 and it was better for it. I imagine it would be a good idea on the TRX, butI don't know for sure.

Not necessarily so! However, I have been advised that if the shaft is not grooved to accept grease, there is no point in adding grease nipples. Instead, I shall just apply some spray grease externally from time to time.
