I have a 2019 450SE and have been doing all the regular matinenace, fluids/checks etc, but now it's time to do some lubrication on a few areas, e.g. knuckle pivots, and drive shaft u-joints. I see zerk fittings for the drive shaft, as well as for the rear suspension points.
However, I have a few dumb questions hopefully someone with experience can chime in.
- does the typical auto/marine grease-gun grease satisfy the requirement here or should I find a yamaha product?
- how many pumps do you generally need, and will you see the old grease come out?
- two of the lubrication pivot points don't have fittings on them, any advice on how to lubricate these ?
The manual doesn't do much for detail. Apologies if this is answered already, search doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks
