Type Of lubricant for Ignition Timing 1983 550 GPz

Hey Guys,
What kind of lubricant should I use for lubricating the Ignition Timing mechanism in my GPZ? Does the 83' even need lubrication? Any advice on disassembly and service? Thanks Guys

I grease the rotor and chain lube on the springs and pivots. Can't let them go dry.

I disassembled mine, cleaned, polished and lubedelete with industrial silicone spray. I don't like oils and grease because they gather dirt and dry out.
