My check after every meeting was as follows.

Remove sprocket and chain and clean thoroughly

Clean engine down especially were chain and dirt gather around the clutch drum

Check rear axle spins freely and "free up if required"

Check condition of front wheel bearings and replace, or clean if gritty

Check the toe and lock to lock on steering geometry.

Full visual inspection for cracks etc. And a qukck spanner check on seat bolts, steering column, bumper etc.

After three meetings i would remove clutch drum and clean and grease bearing and deglaze brake pads and disc.

Sounds a lot but it doesn't take hardly any time at all and i always found i had piece of mind in knowing i had done everything to be reliable.

Hope this helps.
