Try getting off your new ride without puting the kickstand down and let it fall over. I figure get the first drop out of the way because sooner or later it will happen.
BTW congrats on your new ride.

check the oil, trans, and primary. dealer setup on any new vehicle is not to be trusted. check air pressure in tires. give the bike a serious once over.

then put it in the nitrogen filled bubble and wait for it to appreciate in value...
