I was changing the stator gasket today and pulled off the cover adjacent to the stator cover to scrape all the old gasket material off. this is waht i found (see picture) could someone please explain what the grease nipple is for?? and whats that below it?? Im fairly handy with atvs and such, but this is my first roadbike. bike is a 550lz

That's to grease the clutch adjustment. The part below is how you adjust your clutch cable along with the handle and the entry point on top of the sprocket cover.

so a couple of pumps with the grease gun should take care of that.
