| Clean the air filter and check the fluid levels in the front and rear differential. Also a good idea to check the axle boots while your there (even though you should be checking them before every ride). I suggest waiting until the 2nd oil change to adjust the valve tappets. |

| Forgot to add this, DO NOT put the oil filter in backwards. It will starve the top end of oil if you do...... | |
