Yes check the date code on the sidewall of the tires and replace if older than 5 years.

The best tires for year round in Seattle are probably the stock Metzelers, but I'm in no way expert on tires.
When I had motorcycle class, the stock tires held well on wet pavement.

Also, check tightness of frame bolts, oil cables, check spark plug, replace front brake hose & fluid.

Please download the manual from here, and read chapter 2 about regular maintenance. Maybe there is something else.

And - Welcome to this forum ! :rawk:
