- I've been needing to rotate the tires and at the same time, I've wanted to get rid of the mud scrapers that always seem to harbor rocks. The last time I went for a big ride a rock must have got wedged in that mud scraper and it carved a groove in the wheel. So, it's time for them to GO! I personally don't think they are worth having, but it's your call if you want to keep them or not. They are easy to remove.
While I'm at it, I take a look at the brakes. This machine has only 1000 miles on it, but they are fairly hard miles. I also go over a few things to look for before you go out on a long adventure. It's always a good idea to give your machine a good once over before a trip.

"Everybody likes a good blow" LOL!
LOL! I couldn't help myself! Glad you found it funny too! Thanks for watching!
It's funny that you use antiseze, and I use locktight lol
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I've had good luck with all my brake stuff using anti-seize. I do use locktite on some fasteners as well however!
Im thinking of upgrading the suspension on my rmax --its a great machine but the ride is a little stiff for my liking…..what are your thoughts and feed back
That's a good question. There are a few options out there from what I've heard. A lot of people seem to like Schmidty Racing and revalve.
Are there grease fittings on the front wheels
Thanks for the question! There are not! I wish there was!
What kind of grease do you use. Thanks
Thanks for the question, I've been using a synthetic grease that seems to hold up well. I'll post an Amazon link for you:

Do you worry about mixing yamlube grease with what you buy? I like the mobil 1 syn grease myself.
Yeah, Mobil is good too! I'm not too worried about mixing, I think the biggest thing is just keeping stuff lubed up well.@@jamiehughes7761
