A few others will chip in soon . but a full set of crash bungs is a must to start , make sure bike is kept on a battery minder , make sure dog bones are we greased ( this is my next job ), check and clean " the brown connector " this well covered in other threads,get yourself a "us " spec side stand . there is more but me minds gone blank but thats a good start.

loads of stuff on here Mr M
oil level - ensure you check as per the handbook
dog bone bearings have been know to seize due to lack of grease
rear brake bleeding - back brake requires regular bleeding but the caliper needs to come off to do it right
brown connectors can be an issue
battery needs to be 100%
side stand can cause probs - bikes have been known to fall over in the wind
fuel map 2 for aftermarket cans
fogging clocks - most just live with it
for an indepth explanation type the key words into the search window and it will pull up the relevant threads

I have never had the problem myself however I would presume seized bearings would make the rear feel very stiff :dunno
I heard about the battery issues - but I was under the impression that the Gen 2 was somewhat better than Gen 1.
Re dog-bone greasing - will that have not been picked up in a major service?
Thanks for the pointers - I will go off and hit the search button
The side stand issue - wow, seemed way better than the Ducati 998s one !

dog bone grease IS NOT on a service list, I know coz mine let go while I was in spain last year and I questioned my dealer, get it done sooner rather than later

Fairly easy job to do if you are handy with the spanners.A dealer would probably charge you for 3 or 4 hours labour.Doing it yourself would save a wad of cash.
