Do the suspension linkages too, like YC said, otherwise they'll be buggered.
Cos Mr Suzuki is very tight when it comes to dishing grease out.

According to Spanner Man, the big 4 jap bike manufacturers carefully budget for 1 tin of grease a year, and they share it.

Sorry YC you're wrong for once. Due to the global credit crunch they buy a tin of grease every other year now.

Plus when they get the ok to start hunting whales again, the Jappanese whaling fleet are tasked with supplying whale oil for the home industries, which will be turned into grease, saving them millions of Yen on shipping it in.

While you're doing your suspension linkages, do your wheel bearings too.
