Grease fitting for 03 R12x -

I have searched all the threads until I am crossed eyes and need help finding my grease fitting (if it even exists) for the bearings on my 03 R12x. It appears my 03 does not have one like the 04's. Am I missing something?

Sorry to be such an ignorant poster, but what can I say?

It seems to make a grinding type noise when first starting, but goes away after about 5-10 seconds. What in the world is causing that? It is freaking me out. I thought maybe a bearing is out, if it even had one? I am frustrated...please help.

Also, I have changed the plugs, squirted the turbo as everyone says...what else can I do to make sure it lasts for a long time. Oil changed every 50 hours with synthetic AMSOIL, with new Honda filter..., always in fresh water. Suggestions?



Help please.
