A fun bike to ride! If you want it to last I would go through it and grease all that needs it. There is a "way" to approach these China Bikes to get them in good shape. At the top of the Dual Sport Thread a must read "HAWK Resource Guide" applies to all China bikes in my opinion. I would definitely look at the head stock, swing arm, and I would highly recommend taking apart the suspension drop link and grease all with some moly or waterproof grease.
I would consider a 17T front sprocket and CAT removal or an aftermarket exhaust (need spark arrestor) as it appears you are riding on public land. The airbox filter is a joke and unless you want to suck in massive amounts of dust this summer you need to find a filtration solution. I did an airbox mod and installed a POD filter that can be oiled. Beware getting the airbox out is a lesson in frustration.
