bike needs tune up...
#2
Check and if needed, replace the plugs. Change the oil and filter with a reputable oil. There are many people who will chime in on the type. Do a good inspection of the chain and sprockets. Check the condition of your coolant. Flush if necessary. Check your tire pressure, for abnormal wear, or a damaged tire (should be done before riding anyways). Clean your air filter well. Be a good time for a K&N if you haven't already got one.
This is round-a-bout what I do for my tune ups. I did all of this as soon as I bought my bike. Doing it again once she is fixed.
How many miles are on her?

Any what out there? It's good you keep her on a stand. Mine stays on a rear stand. I seen a noticable change when I put on the K&N filter, granted my old one was very, very, dirty. With 21k on the clock, if it hasn't been done yet, check the valve clearances. If you have moderate mechanical knowledge, it is very simple to do.
Do you have a service manual for your ride?

Thing has saved my tail time and time again.
The plugs aren't to bad. I'm not 100% sure on the FI bike. Mine is carb'd but from what I can tell, they're not to awful lot different. I pull the air box off and use 2 small extensions and 2 angle joints to get them out. I've heard of people pulling the radiator loose to go in from the front. I've not done it that way. Airbox is easier. Make sure your spark plug socket has the rubber ring inside it. Don't wanna drop a plug, or crack one of them babies!

At 21k, you're just about at the point to check the valve clearances.
Don't forget about the brake fluid, fork oil, and coolant. These should be done yearly, even if it doesn't see the road much. Every few years, replace the fuel filter. Our fuels can be really dirty and filters catch it before it gets to the injectors and plugs them up.
Some cable lube as part of periodic maintenance never hurt either.
