Nomeclature question

[Bruch]

Greetings all,

With the sudden drop in temperature here in western PA, it seems like a good time to get the off-season maintenance out of the way.

On my '04 RT there's an item listed in the maintenance shedule called "Grease front strut lower pivot." Can anyone clear that up? Is it the lower attachment point of the shock, or the point of the paralever that attaches to the forks above the fender?

I've got the plastic off already and I'm waiting on a new front tire and metal fuel fittings.

Correct, that's where the front shock mounts to the telelever.

Thanks Jerry...so the strut is the coil-over shock. Good enuf.

Not sure which manual you have but greasing that point only applied to the very early RS model and the manual should have told you this. From about '95 this was a maintenance free item.
