Default 600 miles first maintenance

I just turned 600 miles on the Speedo and its time for the first service. I change the oil and filter. Lube the chain and check the slack. Went though the fastener to make sure they are tight. Is there any thing that I am missing for the first maintenance?

+1 on the greasing, especially if you ride off road.

Steering head, yes, if ya never done it before.......wheel bearings are sealed, just grease the outside, shaft and linkage.Look up how to instructions onthe forum...no problem.

Don't worry about it now and ride the bike....you can address this next oil change.
