Whenever Ive had a "new" bike I have always started from scratch with the servicing/safety checks however well cared for the bike appeared. Some things like brake hoses/seals/fluid & coolant hoses tend to be forgotten but have a definite service life. Best to start at front tyre & work back checking everything including torque settings of fasteners. You will have a datum point for all future service jobs & peace of mind which is a good way to start your holiday trip! :lol
