2011KX450f
« on: November 14, 2010, 12:42:31 PM »
attached is picture of my 2011 KX450f, picked it up yesterday and spent most of today getting it ready to ride, installed Pro taper bars and hand guards, greased the suspension, if any of you are thinking about a new one be sure the first thing you do is grease the suspension cause there wasn't any grease in the bearings. I didn't grease my 250f when I got it home but surely will before I ride it again.

Very nice ride!
One of my sponsored riders just picked up a 2010, took it to the track and took 1st.
I am almost jealous  :-o
Interesting info on the suspension.
Are you saying that there was no grease in the swing arm and linkage bearings?
Over the years we have found that those bearings are often ignored but I had no idea that the manufactures are shipping them dry.

They weren't dry, it was more like oil than grease, the steering stem bearings actuall had some grease in them, usually they are dry

That is a good looking bike for sure! I had the same problem with my bearings in my '09.
