DF150TKB - Grease Fittings? I had no clue...

[sscheitel]

I see all of the grease fittings on the front end of the bike...I had not noticed these before. I had my Dad looking at the bike and he asked if I greased those fittings?!?!?!? I had no clue that I needed to do this. It did not mention this in the instruction manual and more importantly, the folks at scotterdepot did not even mention this to me. I have 200 miles on the bike and no grease in those fittings!!!

Is this bad? I do plan on going out tomorrow and getting a gun and greasing these 12 fittings in the front end.

Is there a special size fitting I need to get on the gun?

Are there more fittings to be greased?

Are there any more spots that I should be hitting with the lithium grease? I got the seat locks, front end shock ball joints...where else do I need to grease?

Your help is greatly appreciated

A regular Zerk fitting will do it. I have done the ones on the front end, but haven't found any more yet. There are Zerks on both ends of the A-arms. 12 sounds about right. BTW, if you haven't already changed the oil and final drive lube, do it now! The stuff the factory puts in barely qualifies as lubricant.

Thanks Clif...

Yes, I did all of the other PDI tasks, but none mentioned this step

Thanks again!!

What other spots/joints/areas should I be greasing with the white lithium grease?

I like to use Molybdenum grease myself.
