I searched and did not find a reference to a Maintenance Schedule.  I know what the book typically says, but I see more knowledge here that is sometimes in the books.  I was looking for a single sheet I would print or forum post that would have all the "general" maintenance sometimes outside of the normal. I see at lot of information, but each time i come here and browse through the posts there is always another thing that I need to make a mental note to check.

Does anyone have their own sheet or something they could share?  

Overall topics would be something like:

1. Check
Oil - Daily before riding
Battery - Check water level (interval ?)
Valves - Adjust 5,000 miles
Brake Fluid - Check window

2. Lube
Swing Arm - ????
Clutch Cable - 5,000 Miles
Rear Brake Cable - ??? Miles

3. Refill
Brake Fluid - Change but never top off (shows break wear)

4. Replace
Oil - 3,000 Miles
Brake Fluid - Less than 5 years, or if discolored (brown/orange/milky)
Rear Brakes - Wear gauge on rear hub
Front Brakes - ???
Fork Fluid -  ???

Check oil every few days, and immediately after a good hard ride that saw high RPM.  An identical run on fresh oil , on mine, YMMV, wouldn't use hardly any, but once I had 1500/1800 miles on the oil, consumption increased. I carried a little 2 stroke oil container with a tip from a 90 weight, rear end oil jug and a short piece of wood with a slot to put on the oil fill plug. I finger tighten it, but, needed help getting it loose, especially hot, pliers goober it up. The oil usage rate was something I was never at ease with once I had miles on the oil. The oil in the two stroke oil container got used several times. If you're on the road and low on oil and no MC shops are open, hit the Wal-Mart or parts store, a cheap oil with low standards and No Friction modifiers beats low( oil not in the window ) oil. The oil is part of the cooling, or so I've heard.
Valves, check every five thousand. Once you have twenty thousand on it the tips of the adjusters will be mushroomed and work hardened. I had a Stage One cam and adjusted them on the tight side of specs.it's my opinion that that decreased the SLAP of the tip hitting the valves and gave me another
1.5ish thousandths of lift.

I recommend a pigtail to the battery. I bought two wire connectors and cut the clips off of the float charger. The charger just plugged in. Also provided a real easy voltmeter connection. Check any time you have a problem. Check when you park after a good ride. Check again next day. See how it's acting now, while it's good. Then, as it ages, you'll know. It's okay to write stuff down. Packing tape secures and protects  notes on a wall.


I never add brake fluid to anything. It shows pad wear.
Get a big syringe and suck the fluid in. Compare to the color of new.
If it's brown, dump it..
Beware, the master cylinder is a mean dude if you let it drain and lose prime. Take the lid off, crack the bleeder, poke tubing on, quart jar, keep adding till it's flushed.

Notebook
Start list and any details.
Play with it, refine it, then type and print.

I'm with Dave on this... I keep up on the "small stuff" during the summer, try to save the big jobs for winter.
