I have a 2016 Honda Rancher. I'm just wondering if there is any grease fittings on this machine? I cleaned mine really good today and decided to look but found no fittings on the tie-rods or anywhere else.

a lot of honda atv's dont have grease fittings. in the steering column on the old 2000es, is a place i needed grease. the shifter motor, another.. find out what you can grease. then have at it.. another thing to find is what kind of grease ya need for a certain place..

I wasn't saying there was a grease fitting in the steering stem, , BUT was saying one can grease it, and it will make steering better and less wear and tear there!
even , I BELIEVE says to do son as PM's in owners manual at some age point!

Mrbb is correct, the upper bushing on all Honda's should be greased. The bushing has a hollow specifically to hold grease. It does mention greasing in the FSM.
I would advise to use a waterproof grease (not all grease is waterproof, contrary to common belief)!

i know this, but most dont.. it doesnt say this in any manuals, far as i know.. and what kind of grease, is a different matter.. as far as waterproof grease, SAM is correct, i cant list a waterproof grease.
where there a list, of waterproof greases, i'd only imagine..
only had i seen the hollow, before i took the steering column apart. had i known, i could have avoided unnecessary work.. though it did give me some limited experience. besides, i only learn the hard way..
