Two off my last three bikes had no grease at all, in any bearing, none, and they where both Japanese (yamaha) One bike never made it to 6000 miles before the bearings where shot! The other I saved just. in time. So I just wanted a look. I usually do the swingarm to but that's a special tool as well. I did get the rear link done which was pretty dry, hence the want to do the rest.
