If you have a drill and taps you can install grease zerks on all of those components that way instead of tearing the whole thing apart you can just hit it all with a grease gun instead will take about 2 minutes to grease everything instead of a couple hours

I lube my chassis and suspension bearings regularly. In fact, I recently purchased a Husky TE250 with 90 hours on it...the 1st thing I did was tear it down to get a look at the bearings and load them up with Maxima WP grease. Here in wet New England it is just part of taking care of my machine....

Good choice. I have had several different brands and they're all the same. Cheep on the grease. Highly recommend taking everything apart and grease within the first couple of months. Might even learn a little about your bike.

@@01AceAlpha Right. But at 260 hours and not touched them once.... yeahh peace of mind would be just to do them. I've done it so many times on many bikes that it's pretty easy and painless to just replace them if they were mistreated after a while.

In my bike (2019 Gas Gas EC 300) needles do not come out and this is really handy cleaning and lubricating them. I think that every 100 up to 120 hours they should be maintained.

People will spend all kinds of money getting their suspension “dialed” for something that can be done easily from home 😂...fact is MOST dealerships charge you for the pre-delivery service and DON’T do it (or at least all of it) I used to work for a Yamaha dealer and I know what the factory requirements for lubricants are before you sell the bike to a customer...bottom line there’s a good chance your bike has NEVER had the correct lubrication from the factory because it’s the dealerships job to make the bike ride ready...whatever lube is in the axles and linkage was just to prevent rust in shipping

Nice show and tell...CAUTION: rubber seal material may not be compatible with the brake cleaner. I'm glad my KTM 500 only has a single pivot swing arm/shock assy... less bearings to worry about🤓 Definitely no fun hunting for needle bearings on the floor... at least if anyone else attempts to do this work, they'll be forewarned from your video.
