20k - "General Lubrication and Greasing" ??

Hey all,

I'm slowly working through the 20,000km service on my 06 M620ie. One part recommended in the schedule is "general lubrication and greasing". I'm trying to figure out what this entails? Lubrication of cables/chain etc I do frequently anyway, but does this refer to repacking swingarm bearings, steering head bearings and the like? Greasing threads? Just trying to get an idea how far into it I should be going. If I don't need to disassemble the swingarm assembly, take off the rear shock and everything else that would be preferable Really appreciate any advice!

Cheers,

Tk

I would say to lube them up, still easier than changing them.

Hmm, I've never taken shocks/swingarms apart - but hey - how hard can it be

I have to take the rear wheel off to get a repair done to my tire this week anyway, guess I'll do the linkage at the same time. At least then I know it's done I suppose...
