Back to zerks, though... +1 on what Pilgrim and Troll said. Def go to your local NAPA or Tractor Supply store - you can get a pack for a couple bucks. The ones on the Kaw are most likely 6x1.0 metric, I would think. That's the size I used for the neck grease mod I did on my 800.
They make a 90 and 45 deg model too, depending on where it's going, and if there is room (pic in the zerk mod thread:)

Happy greasing to you.

...and stop draggin' your nipples.

ok now that I have your attention.......I took my swing arm off and removed the tie rod from the swing arm, I cleaned everything and checked everything, everything was moving as it should and things looked really good. I turned the tie rod over were the three grease nipples / zerk fittings are. Well seems the center one has taken a hit or something the little ball was not moving. It had grease in it and it was new grease but I decided to replace all three of them, just because and for the price it would be easy. So called the local Kaw place, they have none in stock. They will order it for me and it could take a week to get them......now my question
are they bike or part specific or is a nipple a nipple?
ok thought I would just ask.........
