You can also steal the remote grease zerk setup from GPRs and early FX, FZ

This is from a 2009 FZ ...

Would these be the correct part numbers (from 2009 FZR parts diagrams)?


10 61L-45378-00-00 NIPPLE, HOSE




52 61L-5169A-00-00 NIPPLE, GREASE
53 663-45119-00-00 CAP, GREASE NIPPLE
54 90445-09M21-00 HOSE (L445)
10 6S5-12443-00-00 STAY

Another option. You can always make a bracket and mount it to the midwall. This is on a GPRSHO, but you get the idea

This is from an 09 FZ into a 16 FZ

Yup, I used a couple from 96 waveblasters for my 15 FZ and 17 GP

Since the factory 'fill' inside the housing is not 'full', how much grease needs to be added to get it to the optimal amount?

When squeezing the grease gun, how does one gauge whether there is room for more grease?

There will also be some air trapped inside the housing, which presumably you want to slowly push out past the shaft seals.

Great solution for the factory location.

Just did this past spring for my yearly maintenance and had all the same questions. After finally "finding" the fitting I started to slowly squeeze grease in and wasn't feeling any resistance so I kept squeezing, assuming it would start to get "harder", before I knew it I had emptied the entire 3oz tube of grease. 25 hours later and no problems. I hope I just got lucky. Even if there was zero grease in there, would it even hold 3 oz? Based on others warnings of over filling I assume there is no relief if over filled? I don't remember seeing any specs on capacity or recommend amount for filling in the manual.
