Spring Maintenance

With the number of posts regarding de-winterization, I thought I'd start a thread on the topic. What do you all do to your bikes in the springtime, to get them ready for the season?

Here's my thoughts:
  • Oil & filter change
  • Chain lube & adjustment
  • Battery charge
  • Tire inspection and pressure check
  • Mechanical inspection (brakes, bearings, hoses, electrical, etc)
  • Fresh fuel
  • Carb tuning (syncronization and pilot A/F adjustment)
  • Clean, wash & wax
What am I missing or what do you routinely do when you pull your bike out of it's winter slumber and put it back on the road?
