what should i do to the bike before i ride it? so far im gonna grease the linkage/swingarm and steering stem bearings ...put a hour meter on it. what else do i need to do? should i check the valve clearances or wait until after i break it in? also should i break it in with the oil that comes in it or should i drain it and break it in with shell rotella?
new bike maintenance?
