rfmueller Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The manual says there's about half dozen pivot points that need lithium grease every 4 kmi. Who does these? If so, any pointers? Pictures are appreciated.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I do. Most don't. It's up to you. I like my controls to be like butter because 8 inches at climax is a big deal to me. 8 inches to you, I have no idea.  Tips? Keep the bug guts, road muck and smeg out. Proper lube in and the ride is more enjoyable. I use grease in pivots, fulcrums and linkages. Dry lube (silicone or graphite) in cables and throttle tube. I change the grease often to avoid using it as a grinding compound when it mixes with gunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I get lubed before every ride so as not to notice those pesky pivot points, ha!  I joke but I am one of those guys that waits for such things to tap me on the shoulder and tell me they're starting to get a little dry and then I reach deep inside to summon the strength to open the tool box.
