Bought one yesterday - must still go fetch it some time.

1999, 111000Km, used as commuter mostly.

1).............I'd like to service this ASAP, just for peace of mind. Will get oil/filters/plugs/ etc etc, so I'm sorted there
Is there anything else that I should pay special attention to here, known "weak spots"??
Valves?? Or shouldnt I scratch if it doesnt itch?
2)..............Rear Drive /Diff - what to inspect?? I guess also put new oil or whatever is necessary there as precaution?
3)..............Does this have tubeless tyres (pls say yes!!!), is there any way to tell by just the pics?? (Ignore just confirmed is IS tubeless. Yippee ***ing yayay)😻😻
4)..............I've read that the ABS thingie MAY give hassles, and an expensive fix. Is it possible to remove the whole katoot entirely?

Any other Pointers from Owners highly appreciated.
Nogal looking forward to getting this 1100 here and get the feel of it.
I might just like and keep her, who knows

Thanks again!!
