Welcome on board mate.

As you�ve got a fairly new bike, I shouldn�t get too hung up on the grease issue just yet � ride it and enjoy it as it is this summer (assuming there�s no obvious play or squeaks). I pulled my swingarm and linkage at 12K miles (18 months old) and, although sparsely greased, it was all in good nick and there was just enough grease in there to keep things in order, but it wouldn�t have lasted much longer. IMHO I�d wait till the 12K mile major service and re-grease everything then � swingarm pivots (not listed officially to do at this service), linkage and head races.

I fitted a Scottoiler from new (first thing I did) and the original chain and sprockets nearly made 25K miles, so that might be worth thinking about, especially if you�re year-round commuting.

With the benefit of hindsight, the two mods I would have perhaps done earlier would have been the cush drive mod and fitting Kev�s O2 controller � they make the bike so much smoother and more tractable.

As for other mods� Well, the list is endless, depends what you want out of the bike and how deep your pockets are!

Ride it, get a feel for it and you'll soon enough work out what you need and what you don't...
