I think I recall reading something about someone going to try this (as it doesnt have a fitting). Was it EMS maybe? whoever said it made it sound pretty simple. would be hella handy too

Greasing the swingarm and lingage isn't hard. There's just a few bolts holding everything on and the dust covers pop right out. Here's some photos I did a while back:

And the linkage:

I recommend doing them ... they are pretty dry from the factory.

Yea I talked about it last year, I guess I don't understand why my wife's bike has them on the swing arm and ours doesn't. Here is a picture. She hasthe XT 225 and the TW 200 also has them as well.

Don't forget to grease the linkage bearing while you have the swingarm off. The manual says use molybdenum disulfidegrease however I used HTB (High Tempreture Bearing) grease in mine
