Congrats on the SN! 701 engine or 650? pics?
Things I do every couple rides are:
-lube steering cable, at the steer nozzle and the turn plate near the bars
-lube thottle cable
-spray down engine and carb with fresh water after every ride, then I use Yamashield spray over anything metal. You can use wd-40, I just happen to have a few cans of Yamashield.
-Inspect for loose bolts, broken motor mounts, cracked fuel lines, etc.
-I flush engine with fresh water every ride because I ride salt water. I would reccommend getting a flush kit if you plan on riding salt water.
There is on some SN's a grease zerk for the midshaft housing, but if yours is a stock 91 I dont think it has the zerk, my 93 doesn't. If you do, the grease is not really for the bearing, its to keep water out. Just a few pumps and your good. You dont want to blow the seals out.
When I winterize I fill my fuel tank with fuel, then add the correct amount of stabil. Run it and flush it out with fresh water(because I ride in salt water almost 100% of the time). Then fog the cylinders with fogging oil.
Some of this might not be as necessary if you ride fresh water, but thats what I do.

Another thing to use instead of wd 40 or yamashield is fluid film. Also get yourself a metric socket and wrench set and some pb blaster and Anti-Seize (silver stuff in a silver plastic jug). Put the never seize on bolts and you will never have a frozen bolt and use the pb blaster to break free frozen bolts. And definitely wash down after every ride, but don't use soap because it will take the fluid film/grease off.

whats the wd40 do exactly
Your turn nozzle will go farther in both directions. So when the bars are cranked either way you can do fast tight carves and slides.
Prevents corrosion/rust and keeps everything nice and lubed
