If I might be so bold as to add to this list - not specific to FJR, but to any new or used bike purchase - some of which will be redundant to others' comments:
1. Check Oil level on bike BEFORE leaving dealership - in fact - double check ALL fluids. I've had bikes more than a quart low.
2. Check tire pressure - with a known good guage (bring your own) before you leave the dealer.
3. Check battery levels if applicable.
4. If possible - strongly suggest that dealer trickle charge your battery BEFORE hooking everything else up and before you ride it home. If this can't be done - hook up a trickle charger as soon as you get home.
5. Take care leaving dealership - slippery tires - new bike - new brakes - new throttle sensitivity - hey - it is a different bike and you aren't used to it.
6. Take it to a local parking lot and practice stops - try to lock up rear - swerving, u-turns and tight turns. If you've taken MSF class and remember some of the drills - try them with your new wheels.
7. Wash the bike - I know it will be clean - but you need to run your fingers over the plastic - checking for imperfections which you should note on your notebook you are keeping for your new bike (to write down any problems for the first service). You are also checking for obvious leaks.
8. When drying bike - check for leaks again - and check ALL fasteners. Plastic and frame and anything you can get a wrench on. Apply locktite where you think applicable - but be VERY careful around plastic.
9. Wax the bike. you are again - running your hand over the bike checking for nicks, scrapes, loose stuff and imperfections.
10. Check the tires and fluids again the next morning. You could have a slow leaker in either case.
11. You might want to check hydraulic fluid or brake fluid for bubbles to see if properly bled.
12. Check brake rotors - you need to break these in in the first 200 miles - check to see that pads are seated correctly and that there is no fluid leak and no gouging of the disks.
13. silly but check the tire rotatation direction. I t wouldn't be the first bike to have tires mounted incorrectly.
14. before leaving dealership - check all lights, bulbs, signals, flashers, and it might be a good time to hit them up for free stuff - like some spare fuses, bulbs, t-shirts, quart of oil - - whatever you can talk them into. if there is a hard to find fuse or bulb - you should probably order it now. You can put this in your On-road fixit kit.
15. go through tool kit (minimal on FJR) and replace or add what tools are needed. FJR uses a allen key for plastic doesn't it? If so - you can either purchase one if not provided, but I would go to the hobby store and buy a "ball end" screw driver type. They also sell these for torx fittings. MUCH easier to use - don't need to be so straight up & down - though sometimes they can't be used in tight spaces. for that you should keep the allen wrench so you can use the short and long side.
16. Purchase good tire repair kit before you leave dealership unless you have spares from other bikes.
17. READ THE MANUAL - there is probably something in there that will come as a surprise.
18 ENJOY
