Steering Pivot Tube Lubing

[F1D2]

I have a 2006 2 stroke 50HP TLR. The engine was bought new in 2008 and is my first Yamaha. I've noticed that the grease only comes out the top of the steering pivot tube when I grease it, is this normal?

I looked at the bracket 2 schematic and the lower bushing (#6 - 90386-30M60-00) looks concave and much different than upper bushing (#3 - 90386-30M78-00). I'm thinking the grease isn't supposed to come out the bottom....is this correct?



Thanks, Kevin

Grease will come out either end, seldom does it come out both ends.
