Yup always check your tires. I'm thinking of getting a couple of tire pressure valve stem caps on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Tire-Pressure-Mon...#ht_844wt_1139

I have them for my car and they work well. I would get a 28psi stem cap for the front and a 32 cap for the back tire. I would still check my tires but at least these caps will give you a quick visual indicator if for any reason one of the tires becomes dangerously low.

Also regarding maintenance, my bike is now 2 years old so according to the schedule I have to lubricate the steering stem bearings, replace the air filter and flush/change both the front and rear brake fluids. Obviously replacing the air filter is simple but I'm not too confident on changing the brake fluid myself, although I could probably do it. How many of you have lubricated the steering stem bearings and changed the brake fluids according to the 2 year interval? I definitely would not feel comfortable taking apart the steering myself in order to lubricate it.
