you mean attaching a grease gun every other month, forcing in some grease and walking away is too much work?

 

Or did I get this very wrong?

I meant in terms of seals ect .... I've never seen one opened up before , surely injecting grease isn't all the maintenance it needs ?

  https://www.ridefox.com/help.php?m=bike&id=465 Servicing the Yeti Infinity Link

Servicing the Yeti Infinity Link involes injecting Heavy Duty Molybdenum grease into the needle-type grease fittings. You will need a needle-style grease gun which can be found at most auto parts stores. Any Heavy Duty Molybdenum grease (such as Mobil XHP 222 or similar) will work with this system.

Different regions and riding conditions may benefit from the use of alternative greases. In all usage conditions, Heavy Duty Molyybdenum grease will suffice.

Step 1

Clean the exterior of your Yeti Infinity Link before performing any service. Use only isopropyl alchohol or soapy water and a clean lint free rag or paper towel to clean your Yeti Infinity Link.

Step 2

The needle-type grease fittings of the Yeti Infinity Link require a generous push to make a proper seal while injecting grease.

Use your needle-type grease gun to inject a Heavy Duty Molybdenum grease (such as Mobil XHP 222 or similar) until you see grease extruding from the shaft seals as shown.

Step 3

Wipe off any extra grease that was extruded with a clean lint-free towel. No external lubrication of the shafts or seals is necessary.

Service is complete. Enjoy the ride!

Dial it backwards as Transition are drip feeding their 2018 models and the Sentinel looks a beast even for those waking up and riding whistler and NS steeps every morning. 

 

The 2018 Smuggler on the other hand looks like it could be a perfect bike for SA trails and 90% of the enduros here (Ezel and superenduro excluded but would still cope well) where frankly 150+ bikes are not exactly needed as you're not rock rolling, hucking gaps and when geo and clever design can deliver a hard hitting playful short travel weapon.

You okes are easy to please. Stretch it out a bit make the head angle slack and chuck a little gold and you get all frothy.

 

Straight skinny pipes. Somewhere there's a building site missing some scaffolding.
