Chain Cleaning & Adjustment: 5:40


Walkaround
Check for leaks/drips under the bike and if there are, investigate the cause.
Check the radiator, fork seals, & around the oil filter.
Check for loose components & make sure there’s no friction or rubbing between any parts of the bike
Check that mirrors aren't loose
Check all pivot points & lube them (footpegs, shifter, key holes, levers, suspension, & kickstand).
Make sure none of your bulbs are burnt out for the head, tail lights, signals, & inspect the functionality of the controls & horn.

Tires
Check the tread depth of the tires, Inspect for cracks, cuts, slits, impalements like nails, & abnormal wear
Using an air pressure gauge, make sure they’re filled to the appropriate PSI. In our case, it’s 29.

Battery
Pull the rear corners of the seat up, remove the mounting bolts using a 5 mm allen key, then pull the seat back and up.
Make sure when you’re doing this the ignition switch is OFF
Remove the data link connector while pressing its tab from the battery cover
Remove the connector holder from the battery cover, release the harness from the guide on the battery cover, remove the clips.

Brake Pads/Fluid
Check the brake pads, these have wear indicators just like the tires do. The pads need to be replaced if a brake pad is worn to the indicator. Inspect the front pads from below the brake calliper, & the rear from the back right of the motorcycle.
To check the front, the fluid level should above the lower level marker. The rear brake reservoir level is a bit harder to see. To get a decent observation, shine a light up from below the reservoir to make sure that the fluid is between the lower and upper level marks.

Coolant
Check that the coolant level is between the upper and lower level marks on the reserve tank, if you notice that the level is dropping noticeably or it’s empty, you’ll need to take your bike to the dealer. If it’s below the lower level mark, you can add coolant if you have the proper tools, but ensure you only tremove the cap when the bike is COLD, or else you could potentially scald yourself.

Engine Oil & Filter
Change the oil the first 1000 kms, then approximately every 12,800 kms after that.
The filter also must be changed the first 1000 kms, but then after essentially only every other time you change the oil, or approximately every 25,000 kms.

Chain
I wouldn’t commit to a particular milage for cleaning and lubing the chain. It's heavily dependent on if the chain is dirty or dry, which usually reflects what kind of environment you’re cruising in.
If its dirty and you’re riding on dusty or muddy terrain, I’d both clean and oil it. If you've been riding a lot in rainy weather, or long distances where the chain gets hot, oil it.
To get the job done pick up a Motul kit, it has everything you need. You could also use some old kerosene as an alternative chain cleaner.
Check to see there’s no wear on the teeth of the sprockets, and if there’s excess slack in the chain, it should be between 1 1 3/8 inches (2535 mm) for my bike, don’t ride your bike if the slack exceeds 50 mm.

This YouTube Video constitutes noninfringing fair use under U.S. copyright law because it is transformative in nature, uses no more of the original than necessary, and has no negative effect on the market for the original work.

Thus, under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976 the Fair Use factors weigh heavily in favor of good faith, fair use.
Courts have already weighed in on this question: YouTube videos of this nature are fair use as a matter of law. Hosseinzadeh v. Klein, 276 F.Supp.3d 34 (S.D.N.Y. 2017) (granting summary judgment on fair use grounds in favor of defendant video makers); Equals Three, LLC v. Jukin Media, Inc., 139 F. Supp. 3d 1094 (C.D.
