Thank you! Hugely helpful. I split time between the Yeti SB5c and an Ibis Mojo 3 and don't keep track of hours or miles. Happy to add this procedure to my maintenance schedule.

I’ve seen some good maintenance videos but this is awesome. I actually have this video to my LBS to do the service instead of using Yetis instructions. Thanks dude.

Thank you for this tutorial!! This simple maintenance fixed my insanely loud creak that my local bike shop couldn't diagnose. Turns out the rear collet axle was finger loose, I believe this was the culprit. Either way after re-assembly that super annoying creak was gone.

Huge help, Got a SB5 on black friday and done about 150mi so far but with all the snow riding I think its about time to pull it apart and check everything out

Nice video! ... It is really good to give a few full spins to the suspension pivot/linkage bearings since those usually rotate about 1/4 to 1/2 turn under normal use. Therefore all the wear will concentrate on a few of the balls inside if they are never spun. Inspecting, re-lubing and giving them a couple spins will definitely extend these bearings life.

excellent tutorial video

Nice video dude, You say about the bearings being pressed into the carbon frame, there's 4 Bearings pressed into a carbon dog Bone linkage that you have taken out, we use a anti seize grease on the housing for the bearings to slide in nicely and to stop them from creaking if you have to replace them.

Great walk through video man. Keep it up!

You made this look EASY. Thanks! Great job!

Thank you for the play by play. I found the creak and fixed it....

Great video man, very helpful. Question: does the longer collet axle go on the bottom and the shorter one go on top? Also, are there four total washers (2 on each side) for the male/female shock bolts? Thanks!!

Good tutorial. However, where did you read the Yeti requirement that the pivot bearings need to be replaced annually? My 2017 Yeti SB5's maintenance schedule calls for a "complete tune-up performed by a Yeti Dealer" as the only annual step. In fact, the monthly checks include "Cleaning the pivot points with a rag (do not lubricate)."

Excellent. Thank you.

Love my Yeti

Do you have to remove the shock to grease and service the si links and stanchions? I have a 2016 Sb5 enduro gx. Thanks.

I have a 2018 Yeti SB 5.5 and it seems like there is too much play in the rear triangle pivot points. Is that possible? Or am I overthinking it? Is there something i should do to fix this?

Thank you very much for this! Subscribed and forwarding my buddy your video. Do you have any suggestions for day to day maintenance of the switch infinity?

after how many hours or km of use do you need to change the switch infinity piston system? thanks. Very well video man! compliments

Awesome video. What torque wrench do you recommend?

Hey great video thanks, I'm about to do my sb6c and I'm pretty sure i will need to replace the bearings rather than service them. Any advice before i start alternatively any videos you could point me in the direction of? Thanks

Great video. Maybe you should contract with Yeti? I called Yeti directly and asked why they didnt have any good maintenance video's especially regarding the Switch. They said they were too busy :0

Great vid. Do you have one for the 4.5c too?

Hi! i have a SB4.5, recently participated in a very muddy 100k race. After that my bike is so noisy even cleaned very well. Any video how to lubricate all joints on rear suspension? also seat post became very noisy.

Wondering if you had suggestions for collar axel that does not thread out when I do this maintenance for my yeti sb4.5c? When I unscrew the collar axel, it pushes the nut on the drive side out of the frame instead of coming out. Thanks

I tried to grease my switch infinity link but no grease oozes out of the seals... just felt the pressure on the grease gun but doesn't seems to be pushing the grease into the ports... is there any special trick to inject the grease? I bought the Yeti infinity grease and gun kit which is actually a repackaged dualco gun and surely repackaged mobil xhp 222 grease as well. Didn't loosen the port screws... just pressed the gun tip against the port and tried to inject the grease. Maybe my infinity link seals are too new and tight that doesn't allow the grease to flow?

Hi can you tell me when you do infenity switch do yo know if bearings are replaceable with out expensive buying the unit

I was wondering what type of grease and grease gun you recommend. Thank you.

Great video. That service looks like a giant pain in the butt though.

What models and sizes of wheels/tires are you running?

Woah. Complicated. I got one of these bikes on a discount from a shop that couldn't get me the YT I wanted and I knew you had to service this Switch Infinity thing somehow but that is absurd. How much do replacing the bearings every year cost?

I barely got the 2018 sb4.5, and I live in the desert. Do I have to wipe/wash the switch infinity after each ride? Thank you.

What grease did you use for the actual infinity switch?

so you torque the bolts at a minimum?

what kinda of grease do you use for the actual switch infinity link?

Is there MOS2 in Rock'n Roll Grease?

Stop saying "typically "
