So looks like Spring has finally sprung, I have my wiring sorted out and started the bike the first time in a couple of months this weekend. I need some advice on bringing her out of hibernation. To winterize I used stabil in the tank but that's about it. I have fully charged the battery, the tires are up to pressure. I’m going to change oil and filter and thought I'd change plugs as I haven’t since I bought the bike last summer. What else would you guys advise ??

Clean and lube the chain.
Do a fastener check.

Why bother, they're good. Do your chain, check your fastners, and ride the darned thing.
