I recently bought a 1998 Montesa 315R. I am concerned about the rear swing arm and suspension as far as lubrication of the moving parts. There are no grease zerts and I am wondering how you lubricate the moving parts. Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

I replaced all the suspension bearings (they are needle rollers) and packed them with a good quality grease. I pull it all apart and regrease every 6 months and so far, hasn't needed it. The bike does go through water deep enough to cover these parts on occasion. Bought the bike second hand (2 years old) and the needles rollers were all rusty and siezed so maintenance is they key. About 30 minutes to remove rear wheel. pull apart, regrease and reassemble.
