2015 Yamaha vxr intermediate bearing grease

[vatopa]

Ok, after a half hour search I found the zerk.

How much grease do I squirt in there?

Thanks,
Tom

I've never had one apart but here is what I learned from other members here. The grease doesn't actually lubricate the bearing. The grease goes in an area to keep water from reaching the bearing. None of the service manuals state how much grease to add/use. I believe the general agreement was 5 pumps from a standard 14oz. tube grease gun each year and put the grease in slowly so you don't blow out a seal. I've been doing this for 3 years now with no problems. If I missed something, hopefully someone will add to this. I'm still learning.
