not meaning to hijack this thread but where the heck is the zerk fitting on my 09 RK so I can grease it...I've looked all over for that damn thing (also, any suggestions on where to but a good service manual).Thanks

 

And continues to squirt out for another 3000 miles.

 

I believe it is a 1/4" pipe thread fitting, very common. Also, if the fitting stops taking grease, try to take it off the neck, and put just the fitting back in the grease gun, squeeze the pump. if grease comes out, the fitting is fine, try having someone else pump the grease gun while you sit on the bike and turn the bars back and forth... that sometimes works.

 

or take it for a little ride to get the grease to move in the neck a little, you should be able to see it come out eventually

 

I have an 09 RKC...

Look up near the top of the frame where the neck is. It will be on the same side of the bike as the horn.

It's kind of a pain in the neck to see with the wire looking running right there.

 

Change to a 90 degree fitting,it will work alot better.

 

1/4-28 THREADS SIZE for the fitting buy a 45d fitting makes it easy to lube-ride safe

 

thanks....I found it....was hiding behind the wire loom and at least on the RK it's easy to get to now that I know where the damn thing is

 

Finally figured out how to work my grease gun. I put enough grease in to get some squeeze out at the bottom of the neck. But I did not see any at the top of the neck. Should I see squeeze out there as well? I would think. Should I keep going until I start to see grease at the top? Thanks again for the help.

 

I think you're good.
