The manual says to grease the clutch fork ball. I looked at the bell housing, but don't see a zirk fitting anywhere.

Don't overdo the amount of grease in that fitting. it only takes a pump or two to keep that ball lubed and excess could migrate to your clutch. Lack of grease will cause the ball to wear thru the arm. (been there done that) and no clutch release is the result. Usually that zerk is completely hidden with dirt, so it gets missed. Mine wore thru a while after I bought it at 290000km and it may never have been greased from the look of it.
