What should I look out for on a 2009 R3T with very little use?

2009 R3T
I just rejoined here after purchasing a 2009 R3T in blue with only 1.600 miles. I bought it through eBay from a car dealer in Florida and cosmetically it looks great.

This is my second R3T, so I know the model reasonably well.

I'm a bit concerned about what I might need to be concerned about due to lack of use. Battery and tires are obvious, but what else should I be keeping an eye on as I break this in properly after years of not being ridden much?
 
Well being a blue Rocket which a few and far between look out for the the black rockets the owners seem to think they are quicker than us blue owners.
 
Is that the bike that the dealer in New Port Richey had on eBay?

I wouldn't think you have much too much to worry about if you are going to change out the tires and battery. It might be a good idea to change the oils and brake fluid. Speed bleeders are very cool when flushing the brake fluid, but you are probably way ahead of me on that.

Yes, that was it. I was watching that auction. If there had not been any bids I was going to jump in at the 11th hour. That was a nice looking bike. Congrats!
