XL-650 Lube Question
Quote from Reloader on January 19, 2008, 4:06 pmI just bought a brand new XL-650 and the owner's manual recommends periodic lubing with motor oil for the ram and "axle grease" for the pivots.
I see how to oil the ram and grease the sliding surfaces but how do I get grease into the crank arm pivots? There are a couple of holes in two of shaft that could be used to dribble oil into but no zerk fittings anywhere.

On a new machine I wouldn't worry about it for 6 to 12 months at least. The Dillon Maintenance kit includes a large plastic syringe full of grease for this application.
