Squirting Zerks

personally, I would weld a BUNG to the tube and screw a grease fitting WITH A BALL VALVE into the bung!!! That way, I would KEEP the grease in the tube and doing its job!!! Yamaha engineers aren't really that smart,,,now are they?????

The factory welded these in, cause the wall of the tub was thin & if it was threaded in it would rub on the inner shaft...they are not supposed to ooze out...& caps, most likely would pop off under pressure...
Fix...(next time you have the skid out) is to grind off the original zerk(s), weld a nut with the proper size zerk thread & length, add new zerk(s), touch up with paint & your read to go...better than new...

^^^That is exactly what he said to do, weld a nut on the tube and then thread in a zerk with a ball in it.
 
I dont know if a nut is going to work Maybe a piece of bar stock with a hole drilled int o it!!!
 
I was thinking that they were ALL NPT (national pipe taper) threads.. I looked in my metric grease fitting assortment and seen 6X1 and 8X1 thread sizes!!!! I learned something NEW today!!!! Thanks DAMAN!!!
