Yeah, most of my knowledge has been gained by reading these forums over the past 18 months - its an invaluable information resource. I do my best to read every post in every topic in the 600 forum 
Thanks for the advice, I will most likely replace the plugs / take them out when I am prepared to have the bike off the road. The reason I say this is that my old red one had an issue where the previous owner had done the plugs up so tight that it snapped in the head when it was removed and I'd rather not have that happen again... Obviously I'll be cautious but I don't want to risk it just yet
Balancing shouldn't be an issue (did that when I reassembled this one) but the TPS is a pain due to the stupid security torx screws. I bought a set of bits to do this but they burnt down in the garage fire before I even used them once. Tried to get them out, but they were inside a plastic case, surrounded by plastic cases that were all in a plastic tool box and everything just melted in to one big lump
