Change the fluids, change the oil and air filter, and don't worry about anything else until 20,000 miles.

If you're really concerned, change your hoses (brake and coolant) since these should be replaced after 3 years under 'normal' conditions...

But 9,000 miles in 6 years is not normal.

Sod it, strip it down and grease the hell out of it.
Steering head bearings, swingarm and linkage.

Change the wheel bearings.

Give it a cuddle.

Whatever makes you feel better.


Honestly, you won't have any issues with this bike until at least 20k when the head bearings go.
