Guess ya gotta do it thee old fashion way.....

If your talking about something like the axle carrier, you can take it apart and put a grease fitting on there. I did that with my old Blaster.

Zerk fittings my friend,zerk fittings!

i am pretty sure the bearings and bushings are sealed so you don't need zerks.

Can't you use a needle to inject the grease into the ball joint itself since there isnt any zirk fittings? Seems a little old school but should work.

you'd think by now people would realise that Honda isn't into that kinda thing Besides then all Honda would have is people complaining about broken seals....

Well, that is the way they used to grease old car ball joints before they had zirk fittings. I don't see why it wouldn't work if u use a small needle. It shouldn't bust out any boots or anything. A small needle size hole won't bust or blow out any boots.

Honda has sealed bearings etc.

I have added grease using a small plastic injection style needle. I think it was for measuring medicine for babies. Anyway a red tube that comes with a can of WD40 (or carb cleaner etc.) will fit between the ball joint dust boot and shank (I think its called the shank?). I superglued the red tube into the injection needle and it worked. Very hard to depress the needle and it just adds grease inside the boot and not really worth the effort. I bought 2 Zerks but don't dare drill into the top of the ball joint because they look like they would interfere, so I gave up.

grease attracts dirt and sand, and when mixed they turn into an abrasive paste that destroys everything. unless you park your quad in a lake every night or go apesheet with a pressure washer every day, there's no need to grease balljoints etc. the carrier bearings are sealed and if you tap a zerk in there, you're wasting your time and making a mess. the grease will never even see the balls in there. honda is smart, know this!
