heads up to all xp owners, check your rear suspension, cause all the cross shafts are drilled for a grease fitting, but some one forgot to tap and install the grease fittings, so silicone it till ski-doo calls ya, so your suspension doesn't seize up. i guess, they must have saved 1/2 pound in grease fittings and grease. but go check your sled tonite.

I looked and noticed that the only pivot area that appears to not greaseable is the upper front arm, is this correct? I did not see a drilled holes to apply the silicone either..... can someone post somewhat exact locations that need attention please?

Thanks much,

It's all about light weight!!...Does no zerks = no grease in the suspension? Or did Doo pregrease the shafts at assembly?

Which fittings are missing? The only open hole that I have seen on all the sleds that have run through our shop. Is the one on the upper front torque arm. It is not suppose to have a fitting. The axle does not contact the torque arm. All the support is on the outer bushings.
