Default Grease Zerks

I am trying to lacate all of the grease zerks on my ATV and I have only found 2 of them. The ones on the right and left rear axle. Does anyone know if there are others?

How often do you need to add grease to your bike? I would figure they do that when you bring it in for routine maintenance.

not usually.. i do mine before every major( day or more of CONSTANT riding) trip or once a month if i am just messin around... or if i am bored i pump till i know it's full( pressure on the pump handle) if u go through alot of water and mud, i'd grease it once every 2 weeks or more if u ride alot

in reality.. only YOU can tell when it needs it, after you do it for so long, you'll be able to tell when/ if something needs greased

Don't you run the risk of busting the seals?

not if u do it right, if you keep pumping and pumping and pumping u can... but if u have a feel for it.. you can tell when it's full... like on mine.. it will pump with little pressure then when it is full it gets stiff.. that's when i stop .. or sometimes u hear the seals crackle

Do you use a specific grease or will a basic one do?
