Ask your dealer to give you a good trade on the stock (fucking crap) tires before you even take it out. See the tire threads around here for other options. Personally I'm very sold on the Avon AV45/AV46-ST. Lots of grip, great handling, long life. The stock tires are just horrible.
Second item on my list would be the fork springs, unless you weigh around 130 pounds.
Third would be Race Tech fork valve kits (both kits).
BTW, have I mentioned that the stock tires SUCK?!
And did you just imply that this is your first motorcycle??? :shock:
