Suspension Pivot Lube | KLR650 | KennyRaceBoy 

Thanks Kenny, great video. My KLR is new and the main tri-link shaft was difficult to remove because it wasn't properly lubed by Kawasaki and was already corroded. I'm so glad I lubed all the bearings, sleeves, and bolts. Additionally, when reinstalling the plastic caps, orientate them so the "deep slot" is located at 6:00 to allow water to drain out.

Very helpful tutorial - wish my pivot bolt came out that easy. Rust had it welded on.

Spot on vid, a must watch must do for every KLR owner out there. THANKS!

great video. I like to always use a small brush and brush on some grease to the inside of the bearings also and then grease the pivot bushing.

Oh I wish I would have done this sooner. My pivot bolt does not want to come out. Been banging away at that sucker for almost an hour. I'm sure I will not wait that long again to do this.

fantastic "how-to", now off to get my hands greasy! Thank you Kenny.

Nicely done, but you forgot the main bearing on the pivot. You took the bolt out, cleaned it and forgot to lube the corresponding bearing. One has to loosen the rear motor mount first, and when reinstalling the pivot arm, it helps to spread the frame a wee bit. I used a ratchet strap on one side of my frame , near the footpeg, and a comealong to the other side. Both were attached to beams on the side of my carport. The knuckle then slipped in like butter. Be careful though, as you only need a slight pull. Once reinstalled, don't forget to retighten the motor mount.

Very excellent, Kenny, and thanks for this "how to".

Great great tutorial my friends. Greetings from Costa Rica 🏍🇨🇷

Great Video, Thanks Kenny. My KLR is due for its first swing arm lube now.

Excellent work with great editing

Great job. Thanks for the information. I’m in the middle of a value job on my 08 KLR so I made as well do this job to. Thanks again

Kenny, great job on another awesome video. I need to do this on my KLR before our next big trip.

Awesome video

Looks like you really know your stuff on the KLR man! Good show!

Excellent tutorial thanks bro

Brilliant, thanks so much!

Hey Kenny I don't see the need to remove the rear wheel and swingwarm and all that jaz. I was able to leave it assembled and still remove all bolts/sleeves and clean and lube them. They were bone dry on my '12 with 5k miles. 15 minutes well spent!

Very helpful. Will you do a spark plug change video next please?
