Hey,

Has anyone pulled apart their swingarm to re-pack the bearings? I've got 20 K on my '05 and figured it may be time to check it out. The bike is in the water a lot.

Also, how about adding a couple of grease nipples, anyone done that?

I did it at 15K. Still looked fine then, well lubed. Easy to do on a lift. But if water gets in and corrodes.. its a bitch to get apart. So yes...you should have done it last year!

I've done the swingarm just recently as part of putting on a new chain, sprockets and spring. Easy enough job.

Grease nipples would be a great addition, malheursement not within my meager capabilities.
