New to Phazer 2's. What needs to be greased?

[MikeSr]

I am working on a PHazer 2, and would like to know what needs to be greased, especially in the front end. All I can get at is the tie rod ends by the skis. Would I have to pull the motor to get at the steering post? Anything else that needs to be lubed on the front end besided the outer tie rod ends, without taking just about everything out to get at it?

And what about the rear end? Are there zerk fitting there? It is full of snow and I pulled it in the garage to melt off, so I can't see much at the moment.

thanks!

On every used T.S.S. sled I've bought the Knuckles and steel bushing are almost frozen or completely locked up and pivoting on the bolts ! I've bought sleds that the locked up joints won't even allow the springs to return let, alone the struts to work when hitting a bump. The T.S.S sleds have always gotten a bad rap for slop developing when the ungreased steel bushing's freeze up they grind away on the nylon washers ! I have sleds that are 15+ years old that have never had a bushing kit and are almost as tight as new. Just take the knuckles and the ski mounts apart every other year and grease !

Ya, I've never had those bushings apart to grease and my steering's kinda loose. I think there's only so much a shim kit will do and the other parts may need attention. Are the Phazer and Exciter II front ends the same?

It is good to follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual. It will tell you what to do and when. A genuine Yamaha service manual is also good to have.

Just, the Phazer II's which are 1990 on up.
