Congratulations bazbro, depending on your needs;
Take the front fender off and spray clear coat of sorts inside the chrome area where the dirt accumulates and especially around the mounting bracket, i found some light rust, good to treat it early when new.
same for the rear fender on the inside only without removing it, especially where the wiring is protected by the metal cover.
also clear coat the throttle body and brake hose connectors, under the engine against mud etc, one spraycan should be enough and maybe repeat every two years depending on salt etc.
i think mine comes off with petrol and the i re-spray if required.
also put some grease on the rear shock mountings, they were dry and some wide black pvc tape on the square part of the rear fork where the mud and stones come off the wheel and sticks to the black paint.
Maybe the black wire frame that holds the headlight and cockpit, horn brackets and under the lower triple t, i put some oil on the lower tt , loosened the lower bolts, let it wick between the forks and the tt, did the bolts back up and wiped the exess off, stops the rust in between.
And yeah; wax!
Does the bike have spokes?
