We recently purchased a used 2012 New Horizon fiver which is equipped with Mor/Ryde suspension . In the process of getting to know our rig in more detail and preparing for our long trip south I noticed that the suspension system has a grease fitting at each wheel location. My question is how often should I add grease and how much? What other routine maintenance items should I be doing to protect and maintain the system?

Thanks,

Mike

That grease fitting isn’t for the bearings.  It’s actually for the beam tubes.  6,000 miles or once a year per MOR/ryde instruction manual is the recommend grease service interval.

Don’t get excited if you exceed the 6,000 number a bit.  The grease is mostly to keep water out and the beam arm tube clean.  (Per the factory.)  But the number is 6,000 miles / once a year on the MOR/ryde IS – 7K or 8K – doesn’t matter.

BTW, if you’re using a hand grease gun it may take a lot of pumps to get the grease to come out the ends.

You should inspect the rubber springs for any deterioration.  They have a 5 year warranty if memory serves.

Go here to get documentation and the owner’s manual.
