A buddy of mine told me the swingarm bearings and shock linkage bearings are sealed and do not need grease? That doesn't sound correct to me. Any input on this?

Ignore your buddy and pop the spindle out and grease them all up....leave the brake side nut alone and just undo the spindle nut and pop it out...I use a smaller diameter rod to hold things in place they are dead easy to do just use the side stand.

+1 / Mauser's reply

The swinger actually needs regualr attention, especially so when you take the Pig swimming at times - or mudrolling, whatever, water ingresses. And yip, waterproof grease will do nicely, but don't rely on it to last forever.
Headraces ditto, however these are way easier to get to.
Have fun, this bike you'll thoroughly enjoy! BRP smile
