Where's the best placement for grease fittings on a-arms and swingarm?
I,m tired of tearing apart my quad after a couple of wet muddy rides to re-grease the upper/lower a-arms, and swingarm. I have the tools & ability to do it myself, but need to know where the best placement for them would be, without breaking them off on rocks, roots, stumps etc.
I know the Yamaha gearheads will know this answer.

I really don't think ya can get fittings to grease the A arms. I have thought about having grease fittings on my front bearings. The best I could come up with would be to drill into the spindle (front bearing housing) and thru the spacer between the bearings. I still don't know if you would be able to grease them without pushing the seals out and letting more water in. I use a needle grease gun tip to grease my swing arm bearing the beast I can. I don't think it gets in to the bearings as much as it just helps keep the water out. Must work though because my Wolvy has the factory swing arm bearings. My bushings on my A arms have never gone out either. Those needle tips for grase guns work great, you can get grease in to some very tight places with them. Oh and by the way I use only marine grease, like for boat trailers and stuff. It costs more but it really seems to hold up to the mud and water.
