YamaLink Yamaha Motorcycle Lowering Links: Why grease zerks in the YamaLink?


Someone asked us yesterday "why grease zerks in the YamaLink, no one uses them anyway."

Oh, really? No one uses grease zerks? Truth be known, one of us here thought that, too, but when we told test riders that it would not have grease zerks they all said "big mistake." More than likely a bearing in the link pivots will last forever if you don't ride your bike like a submarine, but knowing your suspension has the option to last that much longer sure is nice.

It's like that car you drive. How often do you use the cool buttons and anti-idiot features? Never? Maybe once a year? Heck, that question applies to most who have awd or 4x4 SUVs that only go "off-road" when searching for parking on the dirt side lot at the crowded Starbucks.
