Factory: Periodic maintenance chart (p.35): replace when damaged. Codes: R = replace; items marked with a dagger: replace, add, adjust, clean or torque if necessary. Columns: after each race (or 2.5 hours), every 3 races (7.5 hours), every 5 races (12.5 hours), every 10 races (25 hours), as required.

Guideline lines: Intervals here are general guidelines for the machine's era and layout, compiled for this app. They are not factory manual figures. Check your workshop manual, and edit any interval in the bike's Schedule tab.
