have photos that tell you where to put the grease.

Follow the specified amount - weigh the tube using digital scales before applying and during application to determine when you have administered enough grease.

From memory, i took the axles out to do the greasing because i couldnt get enough room to properly see where i was applying it. Dont take chances, order the mandatory replacement fasteners

As i said earlier, this did not solve my problem but by all means try it out if you have access to the grease.
I did this at the same time as I replaced the stupid adjusting cap with the Kawasaki castle nut per your thread. Might as well while I was in there

Kevin at Austin Z Clinic told me to be generous with the lube, even though the FSM may say otherwise. I did everything probably 30K miles ago. No issues since.
