Are there any grease zerks on the bike? I was looking at the diagram in the owners manual and it shows that the kick stand needs grease but I do not see a zerk. The other lube points are for oil on cables, chains etc. Any feedback on this will be helpful.

There are no actual grease zerks on the bike. I found the easiest way to lube the side stand is just give it a shot of chain lube. I recommend Du Pont with Teflon. It is quite clean and rarely flings off. Cables can use a bit of light oil or ATF. Don't forget the choke cable and speedo. Depending on the milage of the bike you may want to put a little actual grease inside the speedo hub on the front wheel. Be very careful with the removal and install. The parts will only go in one way or you will break them. Maybe wait till you need a new tire or brake pads so you can remove the wheel once rather than twice.

Sounds like good advise, thanks!
