Fit swingarm grease nipples, by Frans                          

This is a worthwhile mod for any bike (not just the kawa Turbo) especially when you are about to change the bearings and seals from the swingarm and links from the rear-suspension.
I think the pics speak for themselves;
Buy grease nipples with an 45 or 90 degree angle to make things easier when re-greasing. (just keep on pumping new grease inside the swingarm until it comes out of the seals, the swingarm will be moving heavy now but it will never run dry again)
Be sure to replace all seals, they are expensive but keep sand and dirt out of your new bearings but the grease inside.
