Hi all, I am picking up a new orion 150xl tomorrow:

I am no stranger to working on motorcycles so I am totally confident in my ability to put it together. However, this is my first china bike. As I understand it, there's alot of things to check on before the first start up. The things I plan to do are:

-check all bolts and locktite important looking ones
-grease headset bearings
-grease swingarm pivot
-grease axles
-replace all fluids (oil and brake)
-check/adjust valve lash

I am just wondering if there's anything else I should check? I am pumped to start ripping around on it but want to be cautious and do whatever I can to ensure it's reliable.
