Advice please--maintenance on new to me CB
#1
My very new to me '14 DX has 11k miles.  The exterior is pristine, and--if a $$$$wiss watch was a motorcycle--it would sound like this.  Brakes, clutch, shifting,  steering--smooth as butter.

I didn't get the maintenance records with the bike (dumb), but the previous owner is an older car and motorcycle collector, and the original owner before that worked at the dealership, so I'm almost completely certain that  the maintenance schedule had been followed.

The 8K service was probably done three or maybe five or more years ago? 

I'm inclined to ride it as is until 12k, inspect everything per the 8k schedule along with performing the 12k maintenance at that time.

Good plan?

Thoughts and advice regarding any specicific parts of the bike to check immediately instead of waiting?

If it is so good as you stated, this is what I would do if this bike were mine:

Change oil/synthetic and filter/oem
Check both tires and if 8-10 yo = replace them with Metzeler, T32/T33 or Angel GT or combination if you want OEM size 110-front and 140 rear
Brake/2 and cluch fluids flush
Check air filter, brake pads
General/visual  inspection... and fix accoriangly

I had three CBs, 2013/sold, 2014/sold and still have my DLX.
Total ridden/all 3 = 285k kms , never failed or was stranded, once ran out of fuel  Big Grin
I do my cars and bikes ++  maintenance myself, except bike's tire replacement
