When you shoot grease into the swingarm fittings the old grease should come out the other end someplace...
Where's that supposed to be?

One side of my swingarm seems to be constipated.

Mine too . When I grease the CONSTIPATED side it comes out the other end so I'm guessing the constipated side is getting grease . The bolt isn't drilled through from one side to the other . Out of curiosity . Is the side it doesn't come out of the clutch or the chain side . Mine is the clutch side .

I just pumped an entire tube of grease from the mini gun into the swingarm pivots 

A tiny bit burped out from around the seal over the right (clutch side) thrust pivot.

I had mine rebuilt by HondaMan a while back, and I notice grease come out both sides when I pump it up.  However, the amount of grease coming out each side is not even.

Wow that's a lot of grease . Are you sure its not coming out under the arm where you can't see it ? I can't see the arm holding a full tube (mini ) .

Yeah, I know. That sucker must be FULL. My gun says it pushes 3,000psi so I could have a seriously pressurized, pneumatic floating suspension system right now.

We'll see if it all blows out onto my boot and the rear tire on the ride to work

Crap - I wonder if this means I have a crack in there someplace and the grease is filling up the swing arm itself...

Grumpy, be happy .  Look at it this way, your swing arm will never rust out from the inside!
