Sounds good, if you didn't mention it I'd clean and relube the chain for sure.

I will say be careful if you buy that battery on amazon. The stock battery for the 2014 (which i believe is the yuasa ytz5s anyways) has the positive and negative terminals opposite of what the yuasa you buy on amazon has, so you have to really stretch one of the leads to make it work.

I posted a picture and a review on the amazon site, if you so wish to view it here:

As you can see, the bike is wired for Positive on the right side of the battery and negative on the left. The YTZ5S battery I had as you can see in the picture has the NEGATIVE terminal on the right, and Positive terminal on the left. I was able to really stretch out the leads and screw them on criss cross, but I don't feel 100% comfortable with the leads on like that, I haven't had any electrical issues though.
