Check the valves if it hasn't been done recently, it's due, or you have no idea if it's ever been done...

As far as safety goes, the quality of the tires are probably the most important. Check the dates on the tires. The date is 4 numbers in an oval on the sidewall like "2407". The first two are the week (24th week) the second are the last digits of the year (2007).

If they are original from your '08 Ninja - they are done. 5 years is about the max for a cycle tire.

And check, adjust, and lube the chain.
