I am prepping for a 1400 mile ride, so tomorrow is maintenance day. Fuel cleaner went in today. I leave on Tuesday, so hopefully I don't find any major issues. Tomorrow, I will be changing her oil for the first time since I had her. I will also be checking the plugs, controls, tires and other such items. Standard checks, but I am always nervous prepping for such a long trip for the first time on a new bike.
I have made this length trip (and longer), but this will also be going solo for the first time ever on such a long ride. The usual ride for this is to do it on my Sporty. Usually I have a chase vic in the form of my wife driving the kids behind me (and one of those tend to be riding two up with me). So any issues that pop up en-route will have to be dealt with right then.
Anything I should be looking for that is pretty bike specific to the 2002 FZ1?
