Default dumb question???

How long has it been since you greased it? It might have gotten moisture in it or something.

All takes the same grease........I always grease after being in water(even washing)......to get any water out of the seals. There should be 8 zerks on the front a-arms.......1 on the steering stem, up near the handle bars.....and the one in the rear on the axle.
