    My 510 has two Zerk fittings on the shock linkage. How many pumps of grease do they take? How do I know when there is enough? I did not see the amount specified in the manual.

    until it comes out everywhere. pushed the old crap, water, dirt out and replaces it with new. You can't really put to much in as it just squishes out. Fill it up. Use good waterproof grease.

    Thanks, Motosportz. I was worried about applying too much grease and damaging a seal. With your advice, I'll just pump the Zerk fittings full until fresh grease extrudes out. :thumbsup:
