As a reliability engineer by profession I would go about it this way.
It's somewhere inbetween " If it ain't broke don't fix it" and not ever wanting to be surpsrised.

Touching stuff is bad for it ( not including your John Thomas of course!)

Stay in tune with the message boards. Make a list of what people mention as failure items and get a feel for when they occur. Then email out to the group on each one that is off interest and see if there are any wear indicators you can monitor.
When you get to the major mileage marks that you want us as PM time go through and check out this list you have created. It's not a 100% guranteee but I bet that a high percentage of failures have some wear indicator.
