Hmm. How long is a piece of string? It depends on how many miles it's been driven since the last greasing, how big the clearance between kingpin and bush, the prevailing weather and road conditions during use and so on.

The usual advice is to pump until you can see grease emerging from the area around the base of the main spring. On my 4/4, greasing around every 1000 miles, this equates to between 6 and 9 pumps of my Wanner grease gun, but I have no idea what volume that equates to.
