Okay,
I'm putting together an excel spreadsheet and at the top it has my current mileage on. I would like to have a maintenance plan for the next 10K miles. I need specifics please. I don't know anything about mechanics but I do have the manual for the bike so I will follow that for oil changes etc.
Here is an example of what I want my maintenance schedule to look like. Please help me to put it together. I'm looking for ALL the maintenance you can do including gearbox oil, oil, coolant, battery, chain lube, chain clean/lube, shocks?? , filters, breaks etc. Please list every single thing you can think of. It will take a lot of time to go through the manual I would rather ask you guys.
Example;
8800miles - current, just lubed the chain and adjusted tensioner.
9100miles - lube chain
9500miles - completely clean chain and lube
10000miles - oil change/filters...?? anything else?

I know it's weird and don't know if it will work but I need a baseline to work off of. You mechanically orientated people probably know what to do and when but I'd like to have some sort of plan according to mileage etc. And when to do some serious engine work or whatever.
Also, how do know when you need to replace your brake pads? I don't want to wait till I hear metal grinding and also what kind? I want to save up now and get the pads. What do you clean your bike with too.
Thanks for the help guys
