Congrats. Great bike to jump into the deep end.

Make sure you read up on those air shocks before you fill them up. Never use a compressor. Hopefully they're not already blown out.

Mike CONGRATs on your new to you bike! I would do all the fluids,Brake fluid and anti freeze! Swing arm maintenance , rear differential oil ! For oil I use MOBILE 1 10/40 MX4T . DO NOT use any oil that says energy conservation. You DO NOT want car oil as it has friction modifiers in it and the clutch can slip! Change for oil as well ! The service manual can be picked up here sometimes or E Bay . How old is the battery?

I prefer the lease option.

I got lucky I guess. I would be the one stealing.

That would depend on how well the "stole" bit behaved in the long run.Usually unreliable,and sometimes volatile.A box of full of hand grenades aint allways a good steal mate.
