Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding. Good Luck!!
The Service Manual was indeed the very first "accessory" I bought, in fact. Still have the one to my '06 as well. The new one's got about 250 more miles before her 1000 mile break in service. She hasn't even earned a name yet. Weather has been disagreeable on the weekends ever since I bought her in October. I still walk out to the garage every other day and spend some time with her. She's just beautiful, and surprisingly fast, but then, I've never had a 114 ci bike before. She holds 5 gallons and looks like about 45 mpg so far.
