[size=78%]So now I've got it, are there any jobs I should do to it that'd help improve it? And what would modifications would people recommend?[/size]
get the exup valve out and service it, replacing the six bolts with stainless if they are not already. even if you've been told that it's been done it's still highly recommended.

You have a great bike (but you dont need us to tell you that) but to follow up on what Bludclot said, the EXUP valve is the one area that can let you down. For some unknown reason, it is not covered in normal servicing. If the job is done on a regular basis, it takes about 10 minutes to strip, check, clean, lube and re-assemble. However, if it has not been done for a while, or has not been done properly... it can turn nasty with a serious risk being that you strip the heads off the bolts and the whole job goes fubar. Readup on exup maintenance before you start, and try and have a backup plan in place if it all goes wrong.
