Just lubed mine the other day. Turn the bars all the way and it should be on the neck behind the chrome fork cover. It's up in there a bit. I had to buy a hose for my gun since the metal one wouldn't turn enough to reach it.
There it wasn't
Damn bifocals-----There it wasn't , half way around the tube a rust covered threaded hole with no zerk! Took a real bright flashlight at the right angle to find it with the bars cranked over hard to the right.
Phoned the dealer and the zerk is a 1/4-28 and no we don't have a 45 degrees one. (that is too logical). Picked one up at the auto store, a little Teflon tape and bobs your uncle it's in and accessible for a goose neck grease gun and 3/4 tube of "special purpose grease", 99857-97A
Considering the previous owner had the bike always serviced at a dealers in Arizona that says a lot when you pump in about 10 oz. of grease before it oozed out.
( if it was ever serviced in the last 60k kilometers.) Thanks guys!

Must be a factory defect then, because that neck is as smooth as my wifes -----! At least on the left side where the diagram says it's supposed to be. I've taken a flashlight and looked all over the neck to no avail, unless the drawing is wrong and it's behind the headlight which I can't see.
