Most recommended places for a marine/waterproof grease would be on the front and rear axles, and the swing arm bolt and bushings.

If you are feeling ambitious, then I would also recommend also giving the head stock bearings the same grease treatment with that waterproof grease.

Another suggestion by some members on here is to drill, tap, and install a grease zerk on the swing arm pivot tube that the bushings and bolt go through in order to allow for easy greasing of this joint to help extend and preserve the life of said bushings in the swing arm. While not necessary, it would make life easier for quick and easy servicing. Some have also done the same thing on the steering neck tube for the head stock bearings as well.
