Additional comments. The speedometer and tachometer cables should be lubricated. I had to take the speedo - tach assembly off and lubricate the speedometer and tachometer themselves. They were both jumpy when I got the bike and smoothed out after I finally lubed the instruments themselves. The head bearings (where the forks mount to the frame) and wheel bearing should be lubricated.
A Haynes Manual would be a help.
