HP-I looked in the truck last night and saw that the mrs still had not returned the alignment tool to you! I'm going to put her on this asap.
Audacity-Hp will only be slightly out of your way. Maybe 30 minutes. On your way up to Oshkosh, there will be another dirt track on your lower left directly across from the Merc plant. Never ridden it, but it looks interesting.

Always easier to clean up a little extra than to pull a motor.

Cord, NP on the tool, whenever she has a chance.
Cord, Audacity, the Yamaha track you are speaking of is North of Oshkosh and is there if you buy from that dealer. We asked a few years ago if anyone could ride and he said at that time it was for purchasers only. Nice track and is catered for the smaller riders too.
The track across from Merc is the Fond-DuLac track. Privately owned and was once the owners practice track that he turned into a track for anyone. You need to be a member to ride that (simple form and money). Used to be real cheap to be a member until the insurance killed him so the rates went up. It was once $50.00 a year for a family now it is up to $275.00.
Joey, where is the guys track in Oshkosh? I am about an hour or so from Oshkosh..unfortunately my Summer is jammed but let me know, maybe I can swing something.

Merc does make a grease specifically made for the coupler splines. 'course any grease is better than none.

There are 3 places that you should shoot with the gun.
1. Pull the drive and hit the zerks on both u-joints. 2 Zerks.
2. Re-install drive and hit the zerk on the outside lower right of the gimble housing to get the gimble bearing. 1 Zerk.
3. Looking stright down from the top at the back of the motor you will see where the shaft goes into the coupler. on the face of the coupler there are 2 Zerks 180 degrees from each other. You may need to tap the key to hit both of these.
5 Zerks total and only 1 Jerk needed to Grease them.
