Greasing the wheel bearings

[slowdryrider]

I haven't done it yet but just wondering if anyone has done this yet. I've always done this as a yearly thing on my other side x sides and sometimes even twice a year. Our last ride was lots of water riding due to all the flooding etc that were having around here. So just curious to know what the wheel brgs are like on the Honda say compared to the Polaris. Yes I know that the bearings are supposed to be sealed,but because of how I've always taken then apart and added grease to them { and by this I mean most of my machinery } even if the brg is sealed it gets greased.I'am big on preventative maintainance .So just out of curious about what the Honda brg is like to add grease etc:

I do mine too in the winter, usually after the creek riding calms down. There fairly easy if you have a needle for your grease gun you can do it is no time.
Rear is simple with only the main axle nut holding the hub on giving you access to get a needle in.
The front you will have to pull the caliper off. 2 bolts holding it on. Then the axle nut removing the hub. Then you can get the needle.

I haven't checked the Pioneer but usually Honda bearings are not the sealed type. They are one piece, double bearings.

Good to know. The Polaris are like that one piece,double bearing. I had thought of doing them now but with the amount of mosquitoes out and in the shop its going to have to wait.
