upper and lower zerks on the rear knuckles

 

I'll have to go look around to see where your talking about

 

Number 19 in the diagram. They can be a pain to get to. Lots of different theories on how to get grease into them. Many have had luck using a lock in lube coupler.

 

I have found it is easier if you jack it up and have both wheels off the ground. Still harder than it needs to be.

 

Awesome thank you, I have to take off my rear tire anyway. Rear disc is squeaking

 

That's intentional, lets you know you have breaks still.... lousy pad compounds or possibly from glazing the first time they were used. My brand new LE squeaked within a few stops and they were very gentle rolling to a stop events.

 

I'll check it out

 

Only thing I have found is 4 or the rear knuckles.
Brake squeak is normal. This is my third Yamaha and they all do it right out of the box

 

Anyone have a purchase link to share for quality 45 degree or 90 degree zerks for the lower knuckles? I greased mine today and the lower ones were a bitch. Had to jack up the rear just enough to get my jaw adapter to lock. Made a huge mess. I may be wrong but it doesn't look like there would be room for a 90 degree lock 'n lube adapter. I want to get the lower zerks changed out so next time it's not a painful task.

 

I purchased my Zerks from one of our local NAPA stores, much better quality than Autozone, Advance or OReilley's.

 

What year is your RMAX? I have a 2024. The manual states grease fittings on rear knuckles (just inside rear tires) and on steering U-joints. I found the grease fitting on rear knuckles but can't find them on steering U joints? Anyone find them on steering U joints?

 

SPC tools right angle coupler part # 65132.No need to jack up buggy it slides on where it sits.
