Various setup tips, not all needed in all use scenarios (standard thickness tubes, no rimlocks etc. if using the bike primarily on street changes the videos recommendation) but good to know.
What I usually figure on first:
- handlebars adjusted for the rider
- brake and clutch lever adjusted
- engine side clutch cable adjustment setup for gross, handlebar lever side for setting the fine adjustment
- handlebar full swing pinched throttle cable side to side test with motor running
- brake pedal and shift lever adjusted for rider
- I usually clean rotors and pads with brake cleaner when brand new to eliminate oils, then I cease use of the spray and let the brake dust build up
- full clicker adjustment on suspension front and rear, I noticed factory setups didn't match manual default settings
- the setup of suspension can be it's own long post and lots of test rides on different settings to find optimum for the end rider and their given weight
- full chain and rear wheel tension setup both sides in balance
- front wheel suspension alignment, I usually use the front brake applied and push down weight into front suspension a few times method to set alignment
