Gas should be okay to sit for a while but will gradually lose its octane rating. FI bikes are especially tolerant. Carbed bikes can have issues as the gas evaporates out of the float bowls (jets can clog). Might be worth draining them or running them out before you leave it.

Don't park your bike under trees in a rainy region or the drain hole can clog, water could get in your tank which is a really bad time.

This was a great era for Suzuki and a good engine, it should serve you well for a long time.

Riders get hurt on chill bikes too. I have a lot of experience and been down a couple of times. You can control a lot of risk by making good go/no-go decisions. Alcohol in me or drinking holidays, bad weather or at night, unfamiliar area, unfamiliar bike, passenger on the back, fatigue, known problem area, emotional state. There are a few more and past one or two should stack up to an automatic "no go".

Don't you like reggaeton?

Great looking bike. How's the seat?

Lower than I'd run but not so low that it would've been a risk of a flat from PSI alone. If there are no signs of a puncture then the shop that did the install probably pinched it.

A center stand is probably best
