[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1412700, member: 19880"] With only 28,000 miles on a '10, nothing is likely to blow up if you don't attend to everything immediately. Still, a "get acquainted" tech session is a good way to get to know the bike. Change the oil and check the brake pads before doing anything. Valve clearance check and coolant change should be done at the same time since coolant needs to be drained anyway. Change sparkplugs at the same time as well. No issue if you decide to wait a few thousand miles for that. Most FJRs don't need adjustment that early but it is best to verify! If the bike hasn't been ridden in crappy conditions, the rear suspension stuff is probably not terrible yet. Again, read up on it and I would try to get it done in the next 5-10,000 miles or so. Hydraulic fluids are easy so get them done when you do the oil and final drive fluid. The clutch (and brake hydraulics) use DOT4 hydraulic fluid. Nothing to do with engine oil.) Check air filter. If you are doing the steering head, make sure you have the appropriate tool so you can set the torque correctly. Lube side stand Lube center stand Lube rear brake pivot!! Lube shifter linkages!! Edit to add: Pivot for brake lever on right bar and clutch lever on left bar. When you do the clutch, make sure you clean and grease the brass bushing that engages the clutch. [/QUOTE]
