Beyond avoiding traffic entirely, what owner changes or riding habits made summer street use more tolerable without risking the bike?

Keep receipts for annual service even when doing routine work yourself. Electronics updates still need dealer documentation.

A battery check became part of my pre-ride routine next to tire pressure. The system is only useful when it is armed.

I ask the seller not to warm it before I arrive. A true cold start plus service records is more valuable than a box of stock parts.
