That was easy... only thing is "greasing the Kick Stand"....?? Huh?

Found 2 Brake reservours, one under the pax seat and one on the handle bar.
Is there anymore that I missed? Clutch fluid was fine also on the handlebar unless there is another to look at?

I did the shock oil thing also - Made a difference even on my bike with nearly 7000 miles. Riding will tell all tomorrow when I run out to get some Dot-4 brake/clutch fluid. Gotta mount them new tires as still have lots of riding coming up with Montana/LOLO pass up next!

I found lots of bugs on the radiator and wonder if it is worth the time to make a screen to help protect it from all the bugs out here??

Anything else? *Thanks!

There is a small hole in the pivot area of the kickstand. You take a grease gun with a "nozzle" tip and inject some grease. You can buy a handheld one at Harbor Freight for about $5.

Oh, there's someone on this site who sells radiator guards.. Sweeny I believe.

The wheel circuit reservoirs are on the ABS unit. Only way to check them is to open the vent fittings. But they have sensors that will warn you if they get low.

But don't they draw from the larger reservoirs? So keeping them filled would fill the ABS unit, no?

Nope.................
seperate reservoirs
