Re: bike maint.
Add check battery fluid if appropriate. Make sure speedometer cable gets lubricated. Other than that, tire pressure and lights.

Re: bike maint.
One other thing I forgot. A bit of lithium lube on the pins for brake and clutch levers.

Re: bike maint.
Do a search on AVA forum for ignition switch harness,and follow the checks,if you have not already done that.I would also change the shock oil,if you still have the original air shocks,I went to a 5w-20 synthetic,which made a big difference from the original.

Re: bike maint.
... when it comes to tune-ups, I see a common thought is plugs...
Why not just use iridium plugs and be done with it? Appreciate thoughts.... TIA

Re: bike maint.
After you get the bike back
Add
lube kick stand pivot bolt
Adj and lube cruse control cable (it's simple after you remove the faring)
fuel filter
diff fluid change 180cc
You'll be ready for a couple of years of riding!
