[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1408503, member: 19880"] Just the regular stuff - change fluids, lube pivot points etc. A 2009 should already have the updated cam chain tensioner. Clutch is probably OK if you don't beat the snot out of it. Relay arm as mentioned by BigOgre. Watch for leaking front fork seals at this time. (Change fork oil if you haven't done so recently.) Keep an eye on brake pads. Extend and clean the pistons when you have the calipers off for a tire or pad change (especially with a pad change - you don't want to push dirty pistons back into the seals). Valve checks approximately according to schedule. Exercise the ABS from time to time. Change valve stems if you don't do so regularly (If you have aftermarket alloy stems, check to make sure they are still snug when changing tires) Check steering stem torque every couple of years. Check that the cooling system plastic overflow tank hasn't become brittle or cracked - has been reported on a number of older Gen II. Tighten up hoses in cooling system and make sure they are still supple and not cracked. Check wheel bearings every time you have a wheel off and get them replaced if they feel notchy when rotated using a finger. I sold my '07 a few weeks ago with 295,000 km - still without issues!! Your '09 is still a baby! [/QUOTE]
