Unless you're going far away from civilization, not much I'd say. Perhaps patch a tire, tighten the chain, maybe even change/clean spark plugs, if they're accessible?

However, at least...

I'm quite impressed with the Diavel at 210kg dry and 162 horsepower. That's half the weight and triple the power than some cruisers. The riding position also looks so near to standard that it'll...

I like it. But then again, I liked how the DN-01 looked, so I suppose I must be a little crooked. And this one will probably be one hell of a hoot to ride, too :)
