5,000 is reasonable. Some put in a pump or two every oil change...

He said pump he he he. Lol

Not a dumb question and technically, @FunCycle is correct. No fitting, no grease. However, as @Stairgod noted, there is indeed a zerk on the U-joint and here's how to find it and grease it...

1. Get a needle adapter. This can be a bit tricky as not all needle adapters are the same. The first one I got was too small and would not seat into the zerk. The one in the picture seemed kind of big, but it works perfectly. This one is about 1/8 wide at the tip and 5+ inches long. My finger is pointing at the end that slips over the standard grease gun tip and connects to a zerk inside the sleeve with the knurled bands.

2. Remove the cup holders (which is easier said than done). They simply pop out (no mounting hardware), but not without some effort. As you can see in the picture, I use a plastic prying tool for automotive interior panels which I picked up at Harbor Freight. DO NOT USE ANY METAL OBJECT (i.e., screwdriver) or you will mangle the cup holder or the console (probably both) and then you will want to cry. As I said, it takes some effort and just when you think something is going to break, one of the tabs holding the cup holder will pop. Also, pull the front holder first. It's easier to get to and once out, you can reach under the rear cup holder and push from the bottom while prying from the top. It helps.

3. Find the zerk. Looking through the rear hole (where the cup holder used to be) you can see the U-joint very easily (might need a flash light) and it's easy to reach, unless you have massive Hulk hands. Even if you can't fit your hand through, you should be able to reach it with the grease needle. As you can see in the picture below, there is the elusive zerk that @Stairgod spoke of. Now you can see why you need the needle. If you don't see the fitting on yours, roll the SS (in neutral and very gently) and watch the joint turn as you go. If you're on level ground, you should be able to toss a leg out, while sitting in the driver's seat, and push the SS backward enough to rotate the shaft. I'm only 5'6" and can manage it. Anyway, the shaft will rotate and when you see the zerk, pull the handbrake and grab your grease gun. Although not required, jacking the rear up will help make the zerk easier to see/reach, but not enough for a standard grease gun tip. You will need the needle adapter, so don't bother trying until you get one.

4. Grease that sucker and grease it good. With a pistol-grip style gun, this is a two-handed job. The only reason it would be 3-handed, is if you have the lever style gun that takes two hands to operate because you will need at least one hand to hold the needle on the zerk. As I mentioned in my initial response, the factory doesn't completely fill the u-joint, but there is some grease in there. I think I put 3-4 pumps from my pistol-grip gun into it before any hint of squeeze-out. Anyway, keep going until you get squeeze-out coming from all around the joint. Wipe away the squeeze-out as you go, so you can tell where it is coming from. Also, clean up as much loose grease as you can when you're done. If you don't it will just get slung all over the bottom of your cup holders and everywhere else. Once you're done, pop the cup holders back in place and you're good to go. Shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 minutes. Easy-peasy.

If you put the jack through the front wing won't you need to replace it everytime you change the oil ... Lol

Sorry had to ... Lol

Turn wheel to the left. There's a good video online by i think sling king on changing oil

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I change mine all the time on flat garage floor.

Use a plastic oil change pan to catch the oil just if you want to use torque wrench on drain bolt after i jack up one side. Put jack stand from harbor freight under frame for safety

Then able to get a standard torque wrench on the drain bolt.

Drop back down and refill oil

Get the oil filter wrench. Cheap from Amazon.

I carry both a co2 tire plugger kit (with the little hand tool to drive the mushroom head plug in) and the WalMart Slime kit with compressor. so if I hit something larger I will try the tire plugger. anything small will go with the slime kit and compressor. or hopefully not need both. I also transfer to a Spyder Motorcycle when riding that.

Stainless steel bolt. Lowe's bolt drawers. Metric 6x1.0 in the open hole on top of swingarm. Fit Easy

JMHO but I would recommend putting a bolt in there to keep crud out of your swingarm.

Headed to Lowe's next stop. Getting Welter stealth exhaust installed tomorrow at the Welter exhaust shop!

I get also the popping sound when I decelerate, it was real bat with the 1320 exhaust it is much better with the welter stealth exhaust.

@mytoy Did you have the ECM updated by Bob ? Or running stealth with stock ECM program?

Also question you running with the CAT on your stealth exhaust?

Getting one installed this coming weekend by Jeff

Sorry to hear ... Again that's why I asked when i first saw the Recall Anouncement and posted this thread. So that you can catch early before someone gets hurt
