Your DRZ400 has zerk fittings for greasing the rear suspension linkage?
NO WAY ! ! ! !
That really bums me out! My WR400 doesn't and I have to take the whole damn thing apart to grease it!
AAAHHHHHHHHH!

WAY!!!!
Sorry Bryan. We got grease fittings!
Zerks make a 2 hr job take 2 minutes
HEEHEE Grease them often and they last almost indefinatly. I use a full synthetic grease. I think the type of grease is less important than making sure you grease them regularly. I just wish bikes had zerks on the steering head too.

i'd use just about any grease except lithium grease...it tends to dry out.
i DO use lithium grease on the chain, however...the spray type. while you might say it attracts dirt, i say it attracts dirt to the outside of the grease and the dirt never touches the chain.........until the first mudhole, then all bets are off

Bel-ray makes an excellant waterproof grease I have used for years on my uni-track kawasaki and on all my trailer bearings.
