Just from my experience with KTMs (unless you ride
a lot of hard riding in wet conditions):
* Replace the spark plug-NO (platinum plugs go for 1 year min)
* Bleed fork legs-YES (or you fork seals will leak eventually).
* Check swing arm bearing-Yearly or after a wet season
* Check clearance of wheel bearing-When I change tires
* Complete maintenance of fork-If you race yes, if not every two years
* Complete maintenance of shock absorber-see above
* Clean and grease steering head bearings and gasket elements.- I do this every other year
* Clean and adjust carburetor-Clean your air filter often, this is not needed
* Treat electric contacts and switches with contact spray-never done this
* Change break fluid-Only if you ride hard, I have same fluid in my '02 since '02
* Clean sparkarrestor-huh?
* Drain and clean float chamber- When you store the bike
* Check the clutch disks for wear-NO
* Check the length of the clutch springs-NO
* Check the clutch drive for indentations-NO
* Check the outer clutch hub for indentation-NO
* Check the outer clutch hub for indentations-NO
* Check the cylinder and piston for wear-NO
* Check the groove on the piston pin retainer for wear-what?
* Check the camshaft for wear-Huh?
* Check the spring cap for wear-see above
* Check the eccentricity of the valve disk-see above

* Replace the conrod bearing-see above
* Check piston pin bearing-see above
* Check the entire transmission including the roller and bearings for wear-see above
