swing arm suspension?
Has any one ever put grease nipples in the rear suspension linkages? It seems like I have seen this on older XR's before. Is it possible to do this? If so does anyone have pics of this?

grease zerks
OK, so I looked up the suspension (rear shock absorber) on 1985 XR 200R Honda and you can deffinately see the grease zerks in all of the bearings for the rear suspension. Has any one tried implementing the idea onto the suspension?

push the bearing out, flick the needles out with a pick or magnet, dremmel grind a hole and re-install them. I did an old 125 before, worst part is having to wash the heck out of it with brake cleaner after

some ktm bikes have zerks. personally i dont like the idea, considering it only takes a hour or two, to pull of the swingarm and grease it. im sure they are a nice feature, untill they get broke off and full of dirt . and the ones i seen on the ktm will get broke off, the first time you glide over a rock.
