So grabbed a 2013 bike from a guy for a really good deal. It's been neglected (it was a repo, battery was dead, it's been down once - scuffed cover and dented muffler) but no real damage.
I checked the sight glass and it looks to have no oil, so I'm going to do an oil change. It's got about 2.5k miles and I'm assuming no service has been done.
Going to be doing the aforementioned oil change, and a general chain clean/lube, as well as putting on a fender delete kit and installing some mirrors (it came with only one).
Already replaced the battery, but what else should I make sure to check while I'm working on it?
I haven't had a shop look at it because the bike itself doesn't look beat up, runs like a top, and only has 2.5k miles on it so I figured 'what could go wrong'.
