None.

How's that :smile: Really if the bike's running well and your happy then that's the main thing.

Ok - change the front brake hoses over to braided steel. You need a "3 line" set and you'll need to measure your original hoses. You can use any brand, but HEL have swivel couplings so they're marginally easier to fit, get stainless fittings. I usually go for "smoke" colour it's a translucent black but clear ... or any other colour sheathing is just as good.
You might want to clean the calipers up and change the pads too ... then bleed in the system with fresh fluid (I use 5.1 from a car shop, BUT NOT 5.0 it will eat your seals)

there you go plenty to keep you happy

engine wise, if you start tweaking things you will lose some reliability if you're happy, leave it as! you could consider progressive springs in the forks?
