Ok, so the owner's manual says that the rear swing arm swivel point needs periodic lubrication. Where the hell do you lube it?? I've looked all over the bike, I don't see a zerk fitting or any other type of opening where axle grease could go. Bike is '05.

There is no zerk fitting for a grease gun.
You disassemble, grease parts, then reassemble.

The critical parts in there are the needle-type bearings, the collars that they roll around, the oil seals that cover them, and the bolts/pivot shafts that hold it all together.
