Default Maintenance Tips On The KLX

After a long dirty ride I washed my bike, change the oil for the second time, once at 100 Miles and now again at 650. I cleaned the oil filter but I need to replace it, but didn't get it yet. Who ever gave the advice back when about using the vasiline to hold the spring in place thanks, it worked great. I lubed the chain aswell as other moving parts, cleaned the air filter, cleaned off the disc brakes with special formula. I also blew out the radiator fins with an air compressor. There was actually a bunch of crap in there. Before I blew it out I couldn't really see through so well with a flash light, but once I blew it out it was real clean. I was able to see that alot of stuff came out and it was clean right through. I already had to tighten up my chain a little a few weeks ago. I was just wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions on general maintenance that I can do that I haven't already done??

Check the valves and some people reckon Kawasaki don't lube bearings and stuff so maybe a check of them e.g. swingarm, wheel bearings, headstock.
