Definitely want to have the valves adjusted, check all hoses for cracks, change out all the fluids (oil, coolant, fork/shock oil, brake fluid, turn signal fluid), check the brake pads and maybe even the rotors ?(has anyone worn out a stock rotor on a KLR?), check the rims and adjust spoke tension, clean or replace the air filter, and check tire pressure and condition. Then refill the tank and forget about it for a while... da Vermonster>
