    Daily checks should be:

    Petrol, Oil, Water (if needed), Drive (chain, belt, etc), Electrics, Rubber. You should also check for damage eg punctures and clean the lights if needed.

    Weekly, I tend to check and adjust the tyre pressures, chain tension and brake pads and fluid. I also check the forks and shocks for leaks and damage and for sprocket wear and clutch adjustment.

    I then tend to do things with the oil changes. So the plugs, clearances, air filter are checked.
