Greasing throwout bearing ?

My throwout bearing feels dry when releasing the clutch and I have heard that you can grease them w out removing the Trani by pulling the fork and sticking your hand thru the hole anybody ever done or heard of this

I would say it is just best to replace it. If it feels dry the damadge is already done. Its not to hard to pull the trany.

Don't bother if your pulling it in 2 months. It wont get any better.

They are a poor design.

Whats gonna happen is you'll remove the fork and have to drop the tranny to put it back.

They are only 18 dollars IIRC.

The only thing I can Suggest trying is using a can of spray lithium grease and going in from the fork end with the straw and hitting the shaft it travels on, pumping the clutch a time or two and repeating.

Just gotta not get any overspray on the bearing or on the clutch.
