If you use ANYTHING it should say O2 sensor safe on the can.
that said, even on old salted rusted cars they have always come out EZ !, so on a bike I would not worry about it.

FWIW.....

I have used a little bit of anti-seize, on the threads only, making sure not use too much and/or getting any on the O2 tips.... never had an issue. I also use anti-seize on the extra O2 plugs, if applicable.
