I pulled the secondary on my 2006 RMK 900 for service and thought I should grease the Jackshaft!? There's no grease fitting to be found. Is this the way it's supposed to be on the 2006?

Correct. The bearings are non-grease-able.

How many miles you have on the sled?

I have 800 miles. What are the service intervals?

Every suggestion I have read on here has mentioned preventative replacement at around 3,000 miles... at 800 miles, you got a looooong way to go before you will need to worry about it.:face-icon-small-hap

The 05 Owner's Manual says Lubricate them every 500 miles. Since you have no grease fittings on the 06 I would say check them pre-season then inspect them every 500. A visual inspection of everything under the hood before every ride is a good idea too. You should be checking belt before each ride at the very least.

That's strange, my 06 Switcher 900 has a grease nipple on the shaft cover? Which I broke off on my my first attempt at greasing!!!

That might be the driveshaft you are talking about? My '06 fuse only has a nipple on the driveshaft. And the jackshaft doesn't have any.
