Hey all, this season is going to be season 2 for me on a motorcycle. My question is about some basic maintenance on motorcycles in general. I own a 2019 Kawasaki z400 with ~2700 miles on it. I changed the oil on it after about 1000 miles for the break in service and I’ve maintained the chain by cleaning and lubing it whenever it gets noisy/I think it needs it.Questions are as follows:-How long do tires usually last? I’ve gotten mixed answers for this saying tires can’t really last longer than 2000 miles to that you need to replace them every 10,000 miles. Manual says inspect every 7,600 miles.-When should I replace my chain? Manual says inspect every 7,600 miles.-Is there anything with the brake system I have to do eventually or is that a just go with the flow sort of thing?-Changing the oil, I plan to empty it at the end of this season and fill it back up before it goes into storage. And change it every other year before storage. Does this sound reasonable/good idea?-About the manual, it says the spark plugs need to be changed every 7,600 miles. This seems extremely early to me. I would think they would last a bit longer than that?-Are there any specific places that I should lubricate on an interval? Like the kickstand, clutch cable, brake cables, etc?Appreciate any and all suggestions as I’m quite new to this. Thank you much! via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/f45n0t/maintenance_items/?utm_source=ifttt
