    How do you lube your swingarm.

    Hello all ,
    I have had a chance to get my 07 250x out a little ! Everything seems to be great on it ,My questions are ,how do you grease your suspension linkage and the swing arm? I dont see any grease fittings around the areas .The manual says disassemble and grease ,every 7 hours .
    Wow. That seems like its hard to do ,let alone the steering head bearings. I had a little tw 200 before and it had 2 handy grease fittings for swingarm lubrication .
    So is there an easey way out of this maintennance dilemma ? Do you guys really take your bikes apart that much ? Or is it a simple task to get this thing greased ?

    Buckets - You don't need to grease your suspension that much. I do mine about once a season, maybe twice depending on conditions. No zerk fittings, you need to disassemble. But do it once a season and you should be safe.

    Yep no easy way around - pull it all to bits and grease her up - I only do mine once a year.
