I figured on doing all of the above, except for possibly the fork opil, only cuz I really dont want to pull the forks off. I would put a few miles on it , preferably aggresive miles, to get everything circulated, then change the oil. The rest of the fluids could wait a bit I think. I mean, they should be done, but it doesnt have to be immediate. I think a thorough checkover of the brakes is a good idea though. Latest map also a good idea, assuming the dealer is actually a supporting one... They are putting in a new battery for me...
Thanks,
John

Definitely do the above. I would also have a look at the brake calipers for
seized/corroded pistons, hoses for cracking.
Don't forget all the usual used bike checks, e.g. bearings, seals, brake
disc
thickness/runout, chain & sprockets, chassis straightness etc. Have
critters
burrowed into the airbox, exhaust, or seat??!?
If the seller has not fitted a new battery, you can expect to do so very
shortly. Also bring forward the next oil/filter change to catch any debris or
sludge from storage dislodged by using the bike.
