They forgot to grease my new bike!
Two weekend ago I decided to take some advice posted on that "other forum" and grease the rear suspension on my 04 KDX 200. I am SO gald that I did. As I was taking the rear links and swingarm apart I couldnt believe the total absence of anything that resembled lubricant on the parts. The swingarm bearings were dry, the link bearings had what looked like some kind of lithium type grease that was already drying up. If you have not serviced your bike already, better do it quick.
One quick question, which pipe would be the best for my 04? JUST KIDDING
