Default Adding grease zerks to 250R A-arms.

Any advice on adding zerks to a-arms? Would they make a difference? I just want to be sure it stays lubed right.

The better built A-arms already have grease zerts so yes it's a good idea to add them if your's doesn't already. Your local hardware store will have the grease zerts which are pretty inexpensive. You will need a tap (also at your hardware store) and a drill, drill out a hole and then carefully run your tap through the hole to make the threads. Just make sure your tap is the same thread size as the grease zerts.

If you have a 1987 and up 250r do not put grease zerks in the a arms it is a waste of time just take them apart every now and then and repack them. When you pump grease into the zerks the grease pushes the seals out of the a arms. Then you have to clean the grease out to get he seals back in the a arms.
