Maintenance reminders. Check your spokes and tighten as needed at least once a week. You can find a lot of vids on youtube that covers this.
Perform a basic safety check everytime you ride.
With these bikes it is a good idea to loctite the fasteners, and then check to make sure they are still tight every so often. I usually check my bike over with every oil change.
Pearl of wisdom. There is no such thing as too much maintenance, but there is such a thing as not enough. Your life is in your hands.
As far as riding tips. Practice the basics until they become instinct. Slow speed manuvering and emergency stops and manuvers especially. Ride at your own pace, and avoid riding in groups for a while. A buddy or two is fine, but don't push yourself past your comfort zone to try and keep up.
Also, get good gear. You will crash eventually. Road rash and broken bones suck.
