Re: Looking at bikes.

Not much maintenance on a new bike, change the oil every 2,500 miles (clutch uses it too) and lube and check the tension on the chain every 500 miles or so. Rear tires last about 3k miles and the front about 5k. Engines last 20k - 30k+ on most of the new rockets. Valve adjustment is usually 12-15k intervals.
