Don't lug the engine (<2500 RPM). These things make a lot of torque, combined with the rubber mounting and balance system it's easy to let the RPMS fall too low without feeling it. If in doubt rev it up, the M8 enjoys what some deem to be high RPMs. If you wont be riding it for more than 2 weeks the use of a battery maintainer is a must, so much so that the lead is prewired in from the factory and should be routed during setup to be accessible. When checking the oil make sure it's in the middle of full and add, people who fill them to the absolute full mark quickly learn that by doing that you'll end up with oil dripping from the air cleaner - It's not indicative of a problem, just a characteristic.
Also, where is the battery tender lead located? They just kind of dropped the bike off, picked up my trade and took off.

It will *usually* be between the seat and saddlebag on either side, however some dealers do weird stuff and tuck them under the side covers or things like that. Best bet is to contact your salesperson, they'll know or can get the answer - generally dealers will set up all the bikes the same way so it will be easy for them to figure out.
