Most of the stuff you will be skilled enough to do have videos online / google etc.
Most important things to know are:
Chain Lubrication - you should lube every 2-3 tanks or when the chain looks 'dry'
Chain Slack - you should have approximately 1 inch of freeplay up/down in the centre of the chain
Everything else should be symptomatic...such as throttle slack, lever adjustment, rearset adjustment, wheel adjustment etc.Originally posted by Rich...You got me in trouble...

read the bikes owners manual first from front to back, it should cover all the maintenance you need to do, when to do it and gives a clear step by step description and pics how to do it, and its specific to your bike
then you'll need some basic tools, supplies, if you search on that in psb it''l tell you what you will need for startersI cant help it if your perceptions don't match my reality
