Front calliper overhaul both sides.
Tyre pressures.
Check scottoiler level and fill if required.
Check chain.
Continue to fiddle with headstock nut - should there be two - another to lock it? Adjusted it last weekend but doesn't seem quite right.
Valve clearances need doing, within next 2.5k miles, might do early, as otherwise I could be doing that job in the snow.
Balance carbs, don't have any gauges though :-(
Possibly clean it, but very doubtful.

Not sure I'll do any of the above though really.

I'm going to change the oil and oil filter, clean the air filter, look at the spark plugs and possibly have another half arsed attempt at removing the rear caliper pins!

Wish me luck!

Balance carbs, don't have any gauges though :-(= length (long) of plastic tubing, clear part filled with oil to fit onto the nipples (mmmmm, nipp - NO) then hang them / fix to a board - hey presto, a gauge.
Prob. get the tube from aquarium shop/large nursery, the plant kind or brewing store.
