Nothing much that you wouldn't do to any other bike.
Important
Cam-chain tensioner needs to be the later "dark brown" coloured one. Some people fit manual ones but I found it gave me something else to worry about so opted for the later auto.
Good bash-plate. I like the CRD one; it uses existing fixing holes and offers some protection to the waterpump.
Case guards left and right. When you glue them on, don't squeeze all the silicone out. A few mm of silicone between the case and the guard allows for some serious bashing.
Take everything off that swivels or spins and grease it up. Suzuki don't seem to use any from new.
Bar risers that are up and forward allow you to get some of your weight over the front. If you are ragging about, slide the forks up inside the yokes to sharpen up the steering a bit. Back to standard for flat-out on gravel / sand.
Have fun
