Congrats! The first things you want to change are the bolts on the front heat shield (by your right knee). Also, keep an eye on the bulbs (taillight bulb, license plate light bulb). I had issues with my last bike (although I did have long stretches where I did not need a new bulb), and have already changed the bulbs on this one. It seems to be due to vibrations. I greased up the speedo cable before installing it, but you should be able to take it off at the front wheel, pull out the wire, and spray it, and put it back on (shoving the wire back into place).

I would not attempt to change the rear sprocket, btw--have someone do it for you since I had some bolt issues taking the bolts off the 56 tooth sprocket (a few broke). I had a shop remove the broken ones, and bought some better quality bolts to install the 48 tooth sprocket.

Anyway--just keep checking the bolts and enjoy!!
