Download a manual from one of the stickeys. Read this...http://redirectingat.com/?id=42X146&...nsumables.html . I use Rotella T in the blue jug and the wal-mart filter. If you just bought this bike there's some more maint. that needs to be done. And do searches for your problems before you ask, most of the issues have been covered more than once. Oh and welcome to the 2 wheeled world.
Also, what other maintenance items need to be addressed?
-Brake fluid
-Chain adjustment
-Air filter
-trans fluid
Any other basic maintenance items I missed? I know the guy drove the bike pretty hard, just don't know what I need to look out for. I do need a manual CCT as the buzzing is getting annoying already, but anything else? Thanks guys

I noticed my right one was leaking, so I figured it was way overdue.
It wasn't hard at all, really, the most difficult part was hoisting the bike up in the air so there was no force on the front (and you could remove them).
We ended up using our neighbors stairs and created a lift out of a jack handle and two chains wrapped around the frame (which were wrapped in towels)
Worked beautifully.
I have some pictures on my phone, I'll have to try to find a way to post 'em up on here.
