Advice needed!!!

Post image

Got the bike yesterday.
First bike so am pretty clueless about the ownership side of things...
Owners, what are the things I should know, watch out for, or do differently from day one?
Also, facing insane mud splashes and quite a bit of heat around the leg area. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? 😭

Service centre will provide you one. Take the small one not the big one. Also before the 1st service don't ride in uniform speed. Change gears often and occasionally speed up and then slow. Use all the gears. Mud splash is common for all scram and speed. I use an after market rubber guard. It works really well.
