Sweet congrats! Take care of it.

Try a google search for the factory service manuals. I found a link where I downloaded the manuals (Adobe). One of the chapters in the manual has services and service intervals. Someone here may even have a link bookmarked, but i don't.

-clutch oil

-brake fluid



A good start? (I hate to ask but what kind of oil... I know it's debated a bit) Thanks!

Don't forget that tranny fluid & spark plugs too bud.



You don't have to run that expensive royal purple. I use Castrol GTX 10W-30 in winter,



20W-50 only when it's hotter than 50 all the time.
