Where do peeps buy their oil filters, air filters, etc for the 1000 triples?

Doesn't have an oil filter, only a clean and replace strainer.
Air filter element is also clean and replace.
Assuming it has sat for an extended period, it may be worth draining the fuel tank and cleaning the in-tank filters on top of the fuel taps.
I'd recommend discarding the fuel and filling with fresh 4 star.
Might as well drop the float bowls and check there's no gunk in there.

Yeah - agree with all of that. Jobs for over the winter.

As a recent Lav owner myself I found a couple of items (apart from changing the oil almost daily…) that hadn’t been on my mental checklist with previous bikes but definitely benefit from a check occasionally to prevent hassle later. Others may chime in with more but these come to mind:
Starter sprag clutch: springs, rollers and plungers wear out and cause damage to other starter parts but are cheap and easy to buy, other parts are more difficult. And always have a good battery.
Centre stand pivots like a grease
Primary drive chain is easy to find and replace, sprockets aren’t, so replace the chain regularly.
Watch the final drive chain, it tightens more than I expected with suspension travel (yours may be different, I’ve got a later model)
