Re: Little things I've learned from riding a while...
Give your bike a quick once-over before you saddle up.
You can do it while the bike is warming up and you're gearing up.
Check that all lights function properly, that nothing is leaking, and nothing about to fall off.
During longer trips, check at every fuel stop as well.
I once found my shifter nub about to fall off. Had about another 200 miles to go to get home that day, so it would have been a real chore without it ... :-[
Very Monster specific, but check the chain tensioner bolts frequently. I've been on two group rides where I saw a loose one.
It's ugly when the swingarm cap starts fighting with the sprocket or brake disc. No FHE thankfully, but I've seen pictures
