I've heard of people fitting greasing points

To there rear suspension, just wondered if

Anyone could take some photos of where to

Stick them

Have you got trouble with a noisy back end ? I think you could weaken the area as heavy loads imposed. Change the cheap bearings.

Anotherfive go take your head for a sh@t !!!

Keep on your gas gas page. This is for proper

Bikes not stuff made from kit kat wrappers

there must be a reason why they are not installed from the start, my old ty mono has them everywhere

Funny feeling the Ossa has bushes and not bearings.

Both have there merits I suppose.

My dealer (Bike not the other thing) said spray the linkage points with chainlube,the really wattery type after each ride.

I've done as he says and it all feels fine after a winters use.

Never had a squeak.

true they do have bushes but I still repacked them and the spindles with grease when I stripped it down

This was the prototype with custom made links. The final version used the OEM Sherco links.

On a 2002 Sherco, the front grease fitting can be a 90 degree fitting facing down. The rear can face straight back. The bushing should have a groove in the center of the ID to allow grease to travel around the full circumference. On an 02 Gas Gas, I think I had to use the low profile type grease fittings that use sort of a pin to inject grease.

I've replaced the bushings on mine a couple of times.

They are cheap, but also wear fairly quickly in the mud and water (I trail ride mostly)

I'd really like to have zerks.

One guy cross drilled the shafts and would remove the end bolt, fit a zerk, push grease through and refit bolt.

It would be nice to just leave the zerks in.

Running grease through could push out water, mud etc. (I think)

The suspension is pretty easy to dismantle, but I'd like fittings myself.

Replaced all my bushes with sealed needle rollers.... Big difference.

How did you find ones thin enough?

Or did you bore out pieces. None seem large enough to enlarge to me and the bushes are very thin.

I'm interested,

I used the local bearing supplier, matched the id to the pins, then used reamers to enlarge the bearing carrier parts... From 17mm to 22mm from memory.

You're brave!
