Honda Grease Nipples

(1/2) > >>

philward:
I'm going to replace all the grease nipples on my bikes as I'm not confident they accept grease properly.
Are they just a friction fit? Do you just wangle them out and knock them in with a tube on the flanged part of the nipple?
They are the ones on the swing arm (350/500/750) and clutch (350/500)
Thanks in advance

Nurse Julie:
I know for sure the 750 swing arm grease nipple is threaded Phil as I stock them. That's the only one I can remember though, Trig will know what fit the other are I'm sure.
Edit..... The threaded ones are for later 750's than yours Phil 😱😱😱

Trigger:
They just push in Phil on the flange. Were original some sort of brass which are hard to get hold of theses days.
To get out without damage with a small blade under the flange and as you say wiggle  ;)

philward:
Thanks Julie/Graham - I'll have go

deltarider:
Realise that for greasing not just any grease gun will do. Can be frustrating. I maybe have succeeded about three or four times, in over a ton, that I have managed to get it in there. Have a look at these different nipples. The grease pump shown in the pic will require quite some muscle to push it in there.
