Here's a copy of the maintenence schedule per the Honda service manual, if you don't have one to look at

Only thing I don't agree on is the oil change intervals.... they say to do it every 8k but I just can't bring myself to stretch it out that long. I do mine every 5k. Other stuff, like chain and sprockets, there is no set mileage interval, you just have to keep an eye on it and when it is fully stretched or starts to kink up in spots, it's time to replace it
