Hi guys, new to the forums here. Just picked up a new (used) 2016 CBR500R with 1,400 miles on it for $5k OTD with 6 months factory warranty still on it. The keep hearing about folks greasing/lubing their bikes, but as far as I can tell my owners manual says nothing about this. Where and how should I grease/lube my bike (besides the chain)?

Here's a pic:


Thanks!

You can lightly grease the axles when you change the tires and get some grease behind the seals. The bearings are sealed so it's mainly to keep things from rusting. Not too much or you'll attract dirt. It should be all in the factory manual.
Kickstand pivot area and shifter fittings.
There may be a grease fitting on the swing arm pivot. My other bike has one. I'm not sure about the CB.
