This is great thanks everyone!

I really only plan to do the maintenance stuff, nothing major.
Fluid changes, brakes, some electrical etc.
I have majority of the tools that were listed above, so I am off to a good start!

If anyone has any other tips for me feel free to add them.
Anything, from cleaning tips, riding tips, you name it..

Thanks!

Happy holidays!
