Grease zerks! Where? was created by kzwolfsr
On my 81 1000ltd I don't see any grease zerks on the swingarm. Do I have to take the swingarm off to lube it? Please say no!

You know, that's an interesting question. I have my GPz down to the frame, and there aren't any grease fittings on it anywhere. 100% sealed bearings?

Top side of the swing arm, forward of the rear tire, under the battery box. At least, that's where mine is.

I'm guessing that, absent anybody with an '80 or later chiming in and saying otherwise, that Kaw eliminated the grease fitting somewhere around 1980. You don't have one.
