According to the manual, I should change the oil and replace the plug...what else?

I'd rather have one
big one than four
small ones.

Change the oil filter, check the air filter, check brakes for wear and adjustment, tires for pressure and wear, all lights and drive belt tension.
etc, etc......

Seeing as I bought it with only 1009 miles on it...I doubt the PO adjusted them...so the answer is never..

Thanks guys...

I found this thread on valve adjustment. Before I tear into it, though, are there any updates to the information given?

Since this will be my first crack at it, I would really appreciate any and all responses. Don't wanna mess anything up...

Thanks again, Everyone.

 If you go to a Suzuki dealer than can listen to the engine and tell if the valves need adjusting.

be patient. Its kind of a PITA because of the angles to get at the valves. Make sure you do it right the first time so you don't have to do it all over again.
