If it were me, I'd also change the gearbox oil (Redline MT-90), flush/bleed the brakes and clutch with Motul 600, change/flush the power steering fluid and of course, the coolant. Also, you should probably clean and lube the shifter cable ball joints at the rear of the gearbox. The throttle linkage should have the same.

My service schedule is simple... ALL fluids every year and engine oil/filter and gearbox oil every 4000 miles. Things like linkages also get cleaned/lubed. I also check everything to make sure it's tight and do the usual wipe-down of dirt, etc.
