With so few miles on the clock there wont be much to check.

I would suggest to check the rear preload adjuster turns ok because they can become stiff.

Other will be along soon to welcome you and give you more advice.  :yes:

get the rear shaft drive oil changed or DIY its very easy with no filter required. It should be changed at the 600 mile service and it often gets over looked by the main dealer . final drive failures cost big bucks . Apart from any cosmetics you are good to go , some owners report rust on the tank under the seat , centre stands rust very quickly if used in the winter .
