First KLE 500, any riding tips,

Hello, iam very new to bike riding and have a 07' KLE with 10,000km on the clock. Any tricks of the trade or advice on how this bike runs, any do's and dont's, Braking, any info would be good, i hear the front brakes are soft as is the suspension, can these be changed and if so whats the best way to go about it.

So far my tips would be

wear ear plugs

watch out for knobbly tyre creep going round corners

always reset the trip mileage when you refuel

brake early

spray it liberally with a protectorant like ACF 50 or the just as good and cheaper GT85

and enjoy.
