Hello as well

Hello

I have just joined as I have just purchased a 2012 GTR1400 and collect it on Wednesday.  Had my last ride on my trusty 1250 Bandit GT yesterday...it was a little sad but it was a little agricultural after riding the GTR!

I was torn between a K1300GT and the GTR but the GTR was more fun on the test ride and I couldn't understand why I was having to pay so much more for an older bike with a German badge.  Also the GTR was more comfortable for me...the GT Fairings were in the way of my shins whenever I needed to put my feet down. 
Anyway. there looks to be lots of information in here so I will have a good look and probably ask a lot of daft questions.

Picked it up yesterday...it looked fantastic in the showroom...unfortunately by the time I had ridden home through the pouring rain it wasn't so good but it will clean well!

I'm going to put the pannier protection film on but I was thinking about the side spoilers as well but I'm not sure how effective they are.  Has anyone any experience of them?

Is there anything else that I need to do/check/add to keep my expensive toy happy?

Welcome to the nut house. 

Fit a condom over the rear suspension preload adjuster.
These seem to seize up on the later models when dirt gets in them.

Fit a hugger and FenderExtender if it doesn't already have them.

Otherwise just spank the daylights out of her and have fun.
