Greasing the XP's - My Solution
Like a previous thread in this subject said, there's a lot of Zerks (grease nipples) on these quads. 21 to be exact.
Drive shaft - rear - easy.
Rears - 6 per side - all easy to get at.
Fronts - 4 per side - Arrgghhh ! What a pain.
So, I had a flexible 18" grease gun extension that i used hose clamps to secure it to a 24" x 1/8 steel road to reach the hard to get at Zerks.
This way, I could access these poorly located nipples from the opposite side of the ATV.
The hardest one was the front/left/upper/inner. I had a buddy hold the grease gun and feed the rod through open area while I guided the nozzle on to the nipple.
It'll go quick the next time. Oh ya, I tried to put 90 degree nipples in the hard to reach ones, but not enough room or time or patience to do it.
Hope this helps a bit.
