Grease the swingarm..

Hello!

I have read from many xt660 owners that the swingarm bearings are badly greased from the factory and it is a good thing to grease them up before they get bad and need replacement..

I'm going to change the drive line (new sprockets and chain) and think it is a good time to also grease the swingarm bearings at the same time..

What grease do you recommend? How hard is it to remove the swingarm? I have the service manual and it doesn't look that difficult, but is it something I need to think of when I do it?

Thanks in advance!
