maintenance schedule

[ragweed316]

hey guys so i read the manual and i didnt see anything in it about maintenance. just that it has a light that will come on that is set by the dealer. but i dont really like that, as it would seem to me that a dealer could def take advantage of you that way. soooo my question is does anyone know that maintenance schedule, such as oil changes, spark plugs, valves adjusted, etc. etc. you know the stuff that is listed in other owners manuals to do at specific mileage, like 500, 7000, 12,500, etc.

It's discussed in many different threads, but here goes again (from service manual):

Annually or every 10K km (6K miles), whichever comes first
- Read fault memory
- Oil/filter change
- Inspect brakes
- Change brake fluid (initially after one year, then every two)
- Check steering head bearing
- Check coolant
- Check throttle free play
- Check clutch fitting, cable, and free play
- Lube clutch pivots
- Check chain, sprockets
- Lube side stand
- Check lights
- Check engine start suppression
- Check battery charge
- Final inspection and road test

Every 10K Km (6K miles)
- Replace air filter

Every 30K Km (18K miles)
- Check valve clearance
- Check valve timing
- Replace spark plugs
- Change fork fluid

I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but for the racers and track-day junkies....how often and what kind of maintenance is done? I've heard rumors about oil changes every 4th track day, etc., and hence my question.

How about making this a "sticky"? I know its handy for me to refer to once in awhile.

Personally, I would halve all the fluid replacement schedules (oil, brakes, coolant, fork oil) and give the bike a very thorough inspection after every track day or two (tires, brakes, suspension, chain, fastener security, safety wiring, etc.). Stick with factory schedule for everything else.
