I am in the habit of greasing my skid every 100 miles or so (three(ish) rides). I use Redline CV2 grease, if anyone is wondering.
When I grease the upper idler wheels, they typically take 3 pumps of grease before I get old grease starting to exit the circled area. What comes out is Black. Before grease comes out, I get 1-2 table spoons of water pushout on each side....
With the amount of water that gets in there, I am worried, even with frequent greasing, the bearings/bushings on these wheels are not going to last.. I currently have 860 miles on my sled.
Anyone else have this issue, or have a way to prevent so much water from collecting in the suspension?
