as far as minor maintenance is concerned...make sure you clean your air filter at least every couple rides, or every ride if the track/trails are dusty.  also make sure to keep moving parts lubricated (levers, linkage, footpeg mounts or anything that starts squeeking).  also you'll need to bleed your brakes if they start to get spongy or weak.

with washing your bike...im not positive but i heard that you should put chain lube on the chain before you wash it to keep water from getting into it, and then spray it with WD-40 after youre done washing it to drive out any water that may have gotten in.

also make sure the chain is tight, but not too tight.  if its too loose you run the risk of derailing a chain, but if it's too tight you might snap it.  i use the 3 finger rule (three finger's should just be able to squeeze between the top of the swingarm and the chain).

thats about all the minor maintenance i can think off of the top of my head.  hope it was some help to you
