    I know I will forget a few things. But here is a quick list:
    Air filter cleaning or replacing, Oil change, Valve lash, chain lube and tightening, tire air pressure, clutch adjustment, brake cable lube and adjustment, Throttle cable lube and adjustment, ect

    Those are the things that should be done regularly to keep it running and rolling.

    Ok but how often are you supposed to change the oil and how can I find out how to adjust the clutch and chain etc? Is there a good manual I should get?

    Check and replace your rear bearings often, especially if you are driving through lots of mud and water. I've had 2 200x's and an M that all had worn axles. Putting a grease zirk on the rear of the swingarm and keeping it full of grease isn't a bad idea.

    No there is no swingarm, nothing pivoting on the 200m. Bearing carrier would be more appropriate.
