You should read up on mixing premix into your gas at the right ratio. Jetting might have to be done. You should clean the airfilter ( located under the seat) every few rides, or after every ride if you ride in dust or sand. The chain should be kept in check and lubed often. I check tire pressure and spokes once in a while. Good luck with your new bike and ride safe. :cool:

i would aslo get a manual for the bike it makes doing the every ride maintance stuff easy if you dont realy know what to do or what to look for and it will tell you every thing you need to do to it to keep it running great. but ya def. make shure you mix your gas right if you need to go to a dealer or a local motorcycle shop cause if you get it wrong you can damage your engine.

after first ride, CHANGE OIL!!! when the engine breaks in, a whole bunch of shavings get into the oil(that is normal for all new bikes) good luck ;)

he said it's an 02, so it should be broke in already.
