Equivalent of a "lube job" for a GZ/motorcycle?

[ArizonaKev]

Ok, if you're like me, you probably chuckled a little bit at the subject line - seems like we have given "lube job" a whole new meaning in our culture! :lol:

Seriously speaking though - is there some type of periodic lubrication that should be done on a bike? I have lubed the chain with some good chain lubricant, but sometimes notice when I am riding, and have my visor up and can hear a little better, it seems like the bike makes a little more noise than I would expect it to.

Now, this is probably not a good analogy, but I have ridden bicycles for years, and I know that when I can start "hearing" the gears turning on my bike, or the wheels turning, it typically means I need to spray some good lubricant on them again. Does the same hold true for motorcycles, and in particular, the GZ?

Of course I am thinking that it probably has sealed bearings like a car does, and doesn't need to be lubed on the wheels really. But are there parts other than the chain and the 2 sprockets that I should be lubing?

As always, all answers are appreciated. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend - ride safe! :2tup:
