Fit Manual cam chain tentioners
Finned regulator rectifier
Grease rear suspension bearings in the linkages.
That should start you off
Have a read through the workshop knowledge Section all the good info is there and some not so but it's well worth a good read

Where are you in the world as there might be someone local to walk you through it
It takes a few hours to do there is a guide in the workshop knowledge base
And you have two choices with the ccts
Stopper mod or manuals
Bazzer sells the manuals on here cheep .
Stopper mod you could do yourself
