Tacho Drive Curiosity

Hi,
Just curious, anybody else have a grease nipple on their tacho drive ?
Been to a few bike shows and have yet to see another with the nipple.

By the way, thanks to all for the advice, D squared, (Demon Ducati) is running sweet, after the overtight bevel cam drive drive problem.
A great summer down under, and an Indian summer at the moment.

Grease nipples are fitted on Smiths and VDO tacho drives.

Thankyou,
I finds it odd, as it was the the source of an oil leak until I replaced the nipple.
I have never greased it as it seems to be lubricated by oil from the head, evidenced by the oil dripping.

Cheers
