Oil change at 6K miles, Valves at 12K miles.
I usually find one or two require attention.

You'll need a 46mm socket to loosen the rear wheel nut.
The valve adjustment tool isn't essential but is relatively cheap and
useful.

It won't touch down if you're on neutral throttle in a corner. It can do so
if you chop the throttle mid corner or hit  some bumpy tarmac.
