Default new to me rr -- what to fix at dealer?

Okay -- just got a 05 1000rr with 4200 miles...... Cosmetically it is in awesome shape.....
Was just wondering what you guys think I should have the dealer do to the bike maintenance wise? Here's what I was thinking and please add to the list...
1.) Oil & filter change.
2.) New front & rear tires
3.) Change clutch fluid
4.) Change brake fluids
5.) Change spark plug
6.) Change air filters to upgraded ones

Any other suggestions?

U dont need to change the clutch fluid, brake fluid, or spark plugs wit jus 4200 miles on it. Id prolly go ahead wit the oil/filter change. Look at the tires b4 u just have them replaced, might still have a bit of life in them, mine do at over 6k miles. They can set u back a couple c notes dependin on what u get. U can prolly do the oil/filter change urself, its pretty easy. Just go by the dealer and get bout 4 quarts of oil, filter, and dont forget the filter nut (learned the hard way). As far as the air filters go, u can do that urself to and its pretty damn easy. All u gotta do is take off the tank plastic and lift up the tank then open the air box and pop the new ones in. If u have all that done at the dealer u better have some cash cause (at lease around here) they charge at least $90/hr of labor. And if its in good shape cosmetically then it prolly wasnt laid down so the internals r prolly fine. An 05 wit 4200 miles on it wasnt ridden on much (i put that much on my 05 in bout month and a half). Good luck!

yeah thats all stuff you can do yourself with minimal skill in a few hours
youd save almost enough in labor to buy all the parts
