grease fittings

Does anybody know what tip I need to grease the front brake cable, front and rear brakes and the axles. My grease gun does not fit tightly and I was wondering if I could buy an adaptor tip.
Thanks,
Cole

I had to go to a couple auto parts stores with my grease gun and a zerk fitting to find the correct adaptor tip.

I didnt have any troubles using a traditional grease lead. Just had to hold pressure on as it does not (lock on) to the fitting. A needle grease adapter should be available at most auto parts stores.

You might also try a Japanese motorcycle dealership. There is a Yamaha grease gun for sale on ebay now:

Same here. If you just hold the gun nozzle tightly against the fitting, you can pump grease into it with no problem.

I ended up borrowing a grease gun from a friend like the yahama one that was suggested on here. All fittings are now greased as well as the front brake cable.
