Are there any grease nipples on the rear suspension linkages?

 

Unfortunately no there aren’t any grease nipples. It would make life a lot easier when trying to lube up the bearings in the rear suspension. You have to tear it down, clean out what is left of the old grease, and then put in the new manually.

 

I guess you only need to do this every couple of years if you only use your bike when the roads are dry and the sunshines out .

 

You're on the same page as me. I go throughthe rear suspensionevery couple years and service the pivot points.The rear suspensionactually comes apart veryeasily. Another thing I do is tear down the front end since the rear end tore down, I lube up the steering head bearings and also service my forks. When I service the forks, I tear them down and clean them up in a solevent tank. Of course this means the fork seals need to be replaced.But when you getthe bikeall back together and take it out on a test ride, it feels like a new bike!!
